CamelForth Documentation

This page will eventually be the repository of all CamelForth documentation.  Right now it contains pointers to the original Computer Journal articles that launched CamelForth, and the recent article describing the 8051 multitasker.
 
There's also a link to the Draft Proposal 6 of ANS Forth.  This is not the official standard for ANS Forth.  However, it's as close as you will find on the Internet.  These documents are courtesy of the Forth Interest Group [FIG].
