Abstract
A Iike most fields of computer applications use of small computers for the automatic control of mineral processing plants is faced at the difficulty in the flexible adaptation of the software to the plant operations. To overcome the difficulty it is urgently required that the programming language itself should be optimal. This paper briefly describes the features of FORTH, a non-conventional language developed by C. H. Moore, in particular reference to its exploitation for automatic control associated with real-time multi-tasking environment. Some simple examples show that the distinguished extensibiIity of the language is a powerful basis for the design and the realization of the software system for automatic control amenable to later modifications and further developments and portable to various computer systems and applications.
