Version 1.0.2 - 2016-04-17

This package provides an implementation of VFX Forth [1] like modules based on Forth-94 wordlists.

Installation

To use the modules, just INCLUDE modules.fs on any standard system. This makes the module definitions available. After loading you still have a standard system.

Documentation

See the file glossary.md for a description of the defined words.

Example usage

Here is an examples how to use modules:

MODULE greet
  : hello ( -- )  ." Hello" ;
  : mods  ( -- )  ." Modules" ;

  : hi ( -- )  hello ." , " mods ." !" cr  ;

EXPORT hi

END-MODULE

Now only the exported definitions of the module are available.

hi ( Hello, Modules! ) 
hello ( not accessible: hello ? )
