Where can the source code for bashforth, which was formerly available at http://forthfreak.net/bashforth.versions, be found now?

Is this it? https://github.com/Bushmills/Bashforth

All forthfreak wiki files have been transferred to github, though they're in a state of organisation which may make it currently hard to find specific files. Please find a recent version, v0.63, attached to this post. You may want to rename it, as github accepts only files with specific extensions for upload.

Thanks. I've updated bashforth in MacPorts to this version. (The web page won't reflect this update until later today.)

You may want to make the new home of bashforth more discoverable. Information about bashforth used to be available at http://forthfreak.net/index.cgi?BashForth but that now redirects to https://github.com/ForthHub/ForthFreak/wiki/Forthfreak-wiki on which the term "bashforth" does not even appear.

The alternative may be searching github for bashforth, which should find https://github.com/Bushmills/Bashforth

You may want to change "Fortran" to "Forth" on https://ports.macports.org/port/bashforth/summary Forth and Fortran are two entirely different languages and programming concepts. Bashforth is an interactive interpreter, an incremental compiler, and a virtual machine, which is targetted by the compiler. This combination has been dubbed by some "compreter", and is rather common for Forth systems which aren't native code compilers (that is, most Forth systems).

Whoops, that's a typo I made when updating the port. Thanks for pointing it out.
