lang/pforth 27 NetBSD

PForth is an ANSI style Forth designed to be portable across many platforms. The 'P' in pForth stands for "Portable". PForth is based on a Forth kernel written in ANSI standard 'C'.

PForth has been designed with portability as the primary design goal. As a result, pForth avoids any fancy Unix calls. pForth also avoids using any clever and original ways of constructing the Forth dictionary. It just compiles its kernel from ANSI compatible 'C' code then loads ANS compatible Forth code to build the dictionary. Very boring but very likely to work on almost any platform.

The pForth software code is distributed under MIT licence with parts dedicated to the public domain.
