core classes: If a tuple class with subclasses is redefined into something that's not a tuple class, subclasses are changed to inherit from 'tuple' instead of being forgotten. Also, changing the metaclass of a union or intersection member no longer removes it from the union or intersection. Finally, make some internal words private 2010-02-01 02:48:39 +13:00

<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>
<li><a href="http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Getting%20started">Getting started</a></li>
<li><a href="http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Requirements">System requirements</a></li>
<li><a href="http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Building%20Factor">Building Factor from source</a> (don't do this if you're using a binary package)</li>
</ul>

<p>To run Factor:<p>

<ul>
<li>Windows: Double-click <code>factor.exe</code>, or run
<code>.\factor.com</code> in a command prompt</li>
<li>Mac OS X: Double-click <code>Factor.app</code> or run <code>open
Factor.app</code> in a Terminal</li>
<li>Unix: Run <code>./factor</code> in a shell</li>
</ul>

<h2>Documentation</h2>

<p>The Factor environment includes extensive reference documentation and
a short "cookbook" to help you get started. The best way to read the
documentation is in the UI; press F1 in the UI listener to open the help
browser tool. You can also <a href="http://docs.factorcode.org">browse
the documentation online</a>.</p>

<h2>Command line usage</h2>

<p>Factor supports a number of command line switches. To read command line
usage documentation, enter the following in the UI listener:</p>

<pre>"command-line" about</pre>

<h2>Source organization</h2>

The Factor source tree is organized as follows:

<li><code>build-support/</code> - scripts used for compiling Factor (not
present in binary packages)</li>
<li><code>vm/</code> - Factor VM source code (not present in binary
packages)</li>
<li><code>core/</code> - Factor core library</li>
<li><code>basis/</code> - Factor basis library, compiler, tools</li>
<li><code>extra/</code> - more libraries and applications</li>
<li><code>misc/</code> - editor modes, icons, etc</li>
<li><code>unmaintained/</code> - unmaintained contributions, please
help!</li>

<h2>Community</h2>

<p>Factor developers meet in the <code>#concatenative</code> channel on <a
href="http://freenode.net">irc.freenode.net</a>. Drop by if you want to discuss
anything related to Factor or language design in general.</p>
