See Modules for an overview of all modules in the library. This is also distributed in the download package.
In the Manual there is hands on information. If you want to know if the forth engine you are using, is supported then check the Engines page.
The download packages includes the library, test programs, example programs and configuration files for a number of forth engines and can be found on the download tab.
The library, test programs and examples may be freely distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
