===== e4thcom - A Terminal for Embedded Forth Systems =====

Copyright (C) 2013-2023 Manfred Mahlow [[projects:e4thcom|de]]|[[en:projects:e4thcom|en]]

==== Abstract ====

//**e4thcom for Linux and OSX** is a terminal program for embedded Forth Systems with cross-assembler and cross-disassembler interface that supports **conditional and unconditional uploading** of source code. **32 and 64 Bit Linux** (X86 and Raspberry/Raspbian) and **64 Bit OSX** are supported.//

//Support for OSX is new and still in status TESTING. So feedback in case of problems is greatly appreciated.
//Comment from user tkm: I don't know where else to put feedback for OSX, so please note this:
//I am unable to build on MacOS, the primary error is this:
//./make-e4thcom: line 42: `yes/no': not a valid identifier
//Please inform me of the best way to communicate this issue. Thanks!
//

//Supported Forth Systems://

// **328eForth, 430CamelForth, 430eForth, 4e4th, AmForth, anyForth, Mecrisp, Mecrisp-Quintus, Mecrisp-Stellaris, noForth, STM8 eForth, SwapForth **//
