Since 1997, Quartus
Forth is the original on-board ISO/ANSI Standard
Forth
compiler for
Palm OS handheld computers.
Quartus Forth is fast, and builds genuine native
executables that need no
'run-time' libraries.
"Quartus Forth expands the arsenal of development tools providing a
complete on-device development environment for Forth programmers.
With
Quartus Forth, developers have the opportunity to develop full-blown applications
whenever and wherever they are."
— Larry Berkin,
Director of Developer Marketing, PalmSource
Forth is a perfect fit for the handheld screen, and Quartus Forth makes
programming the Palm OS simple.

the same program written in both Quartus Forth, and in C.
With Quartus Forth, you can:
- Write source code in the Memo Pad (or
optionally in Doc-format files), and compile your code instantly into
fast, genuine native-code Palm applications (PRCs) right on-board your
Palm OS handheld device. Your apps are transferred to the desktop the next time
you do a HotSync.
- Distribute (or sell— there are no restrictions) the apps you
create with no run-time libraries
needed, and no
royalty fees.
- With the companion product Quartus RsrcEdit, produce apps with standard Palm GUI objects (menus, controls, lists, scroll bars, etc.)
- Interactively test and debug your apps using the Quartus Forth console.
- Use nearly 900 Palm OS system routines and over 6200 constants by
name
in your source code.
- See descriptive error text for Palm OS errors.
- Work in the language of your choice – compiler
messages are available in a number different languages including German,
French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Norwegian, Swedish, and Malay.
- Take advantage of Forth's full exception-handling and structured
programming constructs to write clean, maintainable apps.
- Work with floating-point (two kinds: built-in, and IEEE double-precision
with Mathlib), graphics, sound, and more!
Quartus Forth is compatible with any Palm OS handheld running
Palm OS 3.0
or higher, including Palm OS 5.x (Garnet). It also runs fine
in the Palm OS Emulator and Simulator on the desktop.
