Hi,
My question might seem basic. Nevertheless I didn't find the answer on the net. Excuse me in case I did look seriously enough, which might afterall, be the case.
The files under the /boot directory on FreeBSD : beastie.4th and the included ones screen.4th and frames.4th are obviously written in a certain scripting language.
What is this language ?
Can I get a turorial for this scripting language ?
Or even a reference manual ?
I believe the language is Forth. It is a fairly esotheric language
that is used because it has a very small footprint and is still
quite flexible. I don't know about tutorials, but I have seen an occasional book on it. I had one and actually installed Forth
on a machine and tried to learn it once, several years ago but the rewards/effort ratio got to me and I haven't gone back to it.
