FORTH SUPERCOLLIDER
-------------------
`HSC3-FORTH` is a simple [FORTH][forth] interpreter.
The only data type is the [SUPERCOLLIDER][sc3] `UNIT GENERATOR`.
A FORTH answer to the eternal question,
[WHY SUPERCOLLIDER?](sw/hsc3-graphs/html/why-supercollider.scd.html)

There is an HSC3-FORTH [EMACS][emacs] mode, a derivative of [FORTH-MODE][gforth].
There is an OSX (10.9.3) binary ([hsc3-forth](sw/hsc3-forth/osx/hsc3-forth.xz).[xz](http://tukaani.org/xz/)),
or to build type:
~~~~
cd hs ; prefix=~/opt make install
~~~~
An environment variable locates the HSC3-FORTH library files:
~~~~
export HSC3_FORTH_DIR=$HOME/sw/hsc3-forth/fs
~~~~
To hear the above type `C-cC-r` in EMACS, or in a shell type:
~~~~
hsc3-forth < ~/sw/hsc3-graphs/gr/why-supercollider.fs
~~~~
To quieten there is the word `STOP`.
There is a [TUTORIAL](?t=hsc3-forth&e=help/tutorial.fs), and
[TRANSLATIONS](?t=hsc3-forth&e=help/jmcc.fs) of graphs by [JAMES
MCCARTNEY](http://audiosynth.com/autobio/emu.jpg) from the `SC2`
manual.
HSC3-FORTH is `CASE-INSENSITIVE`, in EMACS you can type `C-xC-l` to
time travel.
It follows the [HASKELL][hs] SUPERCOLLIDER ([HSC3][hsc3]) rules.
It thinks `scsynth` is listening at the standard port (57110).
<!--
It is very partial, it is known to work as far as the translated
graphs at [HSC3-GRAPHS](?t=hsc3-graphs), search for `FS` in the
[INDEX](?t=hsc3-graphs&e=md/ix.md).

HSC3-FORTH is for [FORTH IMPACT](http://forthimpact.bandcamp.com/).
