Lessons - Examples written in eForth 430G2553²⁾
Appendix - All 430eForth Commands on a handy reference card.

The other version documented here is the most open and compact version. And uses as much of it in Forth as possible. The complete file can be found at http://www.exemark.com/FORTH.htm, as item 7.

And there is a related eBook too.

It lead to the idea to see how short such a file would be – not in code, but physical print. And as project this file could be implemented in a Forth as exercise. For this reason you find the \ in front of every line. Implement the relevant function in your prefered system. Tested in A2 and A1 size in the local print shop.

eForth Poster - very good eyes? IF A2 size is sufficient ( 43 x 48 cm) ELSE copy shop as A1 print out THEN.

But you can still do your own printout and if you want, stick them together with some tape.
