<h1>The Factor programming language</h1>

<h2>Getting started</h2>

<p>If you are reading this README file, you either downloaded a binary
package, or checked out Factor sources from the GIT repository.</p>

<ul>

</ul>

<ul>
<li>Windows: Double-click <code>factor.exe</code>, or run

usage documentation, enter the following in the UI listener:</p>

packages)</li>
<li><code>core/</code> - Factor core library</li>

<h2>Community</h2>
