;--------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Retro Native Forth, a free Forth-based operating system. In
developing Retro, we have a variety of goals, not least of which is to
create a simpler alternative to traditional operating systems.

We take pride in Retro's small size, fast execution speeds, and its
almost unlimited flexibility. Programmers have the ultimate control
over their code. Retro places no restraints on hardware access, so
developers can produce the best possible programs. Users will enjoy
the simpler user interface; one with minimal bloat or complexity.
Applications are also very compact and usable.

Retro is not done yet. We are working hard to make it the best
possible operating system, but it's not easy. We're improving the
system every day. If you don't know Forth or assembly, but still
want to help, please feel free to contribute code. We can link with
compiled C code and a runtime C compiler is coming.

THERE IS NO WARRANTY. By downloading and using Retro, you agree to
take full responsibility for any problems that may arise. We've
tried to make sure it won't hurt any systems, but it is possible,
especially if you use the experimental features.
