Eric Merritt <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Flk
System name: flk
Type: non-GNU

Description:
FLK is an optimizing native code compiler targeted for the Intel 386+ CPU 
running Linux. Porting to other Intel 386 Unixes should not be hard (recompile 
it and go.) FLK aspires to provide a super set of the ANSI Forth standard. 
Currently FLK needs a forth system present on the target machine for 
bootstraping. Both gforth and pfe work quite well for this purpose.

Currently the source may be found here

Other Software Required:
For bootstraping purposes flk requires a forth system to be present on the host 
os. Gforth and pfe (as well as a previous version of flk) work quite well for 
this purpose.

Other Comments:
Lars Krueger is the original author of flk. He hasn't worked on it in five 
years. I use it on a resonable regular basis and have added quite a few pieces 
to my local copy. I contacted him a few months ago about starting up public 
development and he was fine with it (not that I needed to as he GPLed the 
source, but its always nice to be polite) though not interested himself. My 
current changes have only really been to aid in compilation (automake/conf 
support and few source changes).
