| | first impressions about pbForth
|
| Hi! After fiddling around with pbForth this weekend, I have to confess I have mixed feelings about it. Maybe not everybody will be thrilled to share them, but maybe I am doing something wrong and I would appreciate the input... The language itself (...)

| (...) I can't speak about LegOS, but I thought this about FORTH too, and it aint so. Once you get over the syntax its a straightforward procedural language. Jonathan Knudsens book has a good chapter on it that I found very helpful in getting (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Re: lack of interest in basic stamp and basicx

| (...) Yes, I agree with you, mostly. I have been programming in Forth before, and it slowly comes back. What I meant to say is that the stack oriented architecture is different than C, for example, and (for me, at least) a mental switch is needed in (...) (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Re: Scout vs RIS and reverse engineering and Byte Codes
|
| The pollm command lets you look at memory from 0x40 to 0x440 (1 K). The unused memory does not look like code. It looks like the system attributes are available there--probably battery level and such. Also variables must be there. We have 10 globals (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
