Status: I can call PForth from inside Tcl; I haven't written the code to exchange data between Forth and Tcl, to eval Tcl code from Forth or to eval Forth code from Tcl without the need of an intermediate file. The stuff: this e-script, tclpforth.c, mtamacros.h and this makefile; it is only glue code, so it is very small. The future: I want to turn this into a general debugging tool, callable from any C program and having access to the program's variables and functions, just like GDB. Mini Schedule: march 2000, full Tcl<->Forth interface; mid-2001, Icon<->Forth interface; late 2002, Forth embedded in GDB; late 2004, TeX with a primitive to call an interactive Forth debugging system; mid-2005, TeX with primitives to eval lists of tokens as Forth.
