Thanks Ralph, this is great news. I just got the new USB tower, and considering my revived interest for pbForth your new version arrives really at the right time. What IMHO would really boost the spreading of pbForth, is the availability of some (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Dick, Nice post, and an iteresting topic. My timings differ a little for v2.0 beta, but they are basically the same. My timings use an interal timer as do yours. My multi-task measurement shows that the 3mS framework does not apply to every (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
