Ralph, which makes the most sense for the group name? Ending it in
.h8hforth or .hforth or .forth? How narrow or wide of a scope is most
suitable to the project?
I gather from your source that the "h8" component is derived directly from
"Hitachi H8/300," but I was unable to figure out what the "h" in "hFORTH"
stands for. The reason I ask is because you mention on your h8hforth
webpage that other FORTH implementations (such as pFORTH) can be used to
test systems offline.

Cool, does this mean you can send it FORTH code in ASCII like you would send
a PostScript printer a PostScript program in ASCII? It takes your program
source, compiles it on-the-fly into an interpretable internal form and away
it goes...?

| This is just my opinion, but I don't think that the creation of separate groups for legos or h8forth would be a good idea right now. Although a dedicated group to discuss alternative firmware is a good idea, I think overspecializing it right now (...) (28 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.robotics)

| Hi Todd, I've received several requests to set up a dedicated legOS mailing list. A while ago, you suggested setting up a subgroup, and I'd like to take you up on your offer. Could you create something on the lines of lugnet.robotics.legOS? Thanks, (...) (28 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics)
