I've fixed the broken link problem. Extract this ZIP into the Help directory
below the directory in which you installed BricxCC.
My apologies for misspelling hexadecimal in my earlier post (and, sadly, on the
Memory Map window). :-( At least that will be an easy bug to fix.
I am *very* much hoping that I will get some feedback on the pbForth support.
It isn't documented yet, unfortunately. I thought I had script downloading
working pretty well a few weeks back but recent testing was less than stellar.
In case you can't find it, the pbForth console is accessible from the View menu
and you configure its settings on the Compiler tab in the Preferences dialog.
If you want to register .fth, .4th, .f, and .fr file extensions for BricxCC you
can do that from the Options tab in the Preferences dialog. Tweaking the
console settings may be required to get script downloading to work without
errors since my code for handling Xon/Xoff is apparently buggy.
I'm also hoping someone will kindly verify whether the brickOS firmware
corruption problem is gone now. My testing indicates that it is fixed, but I'm
not as smart as some of you guys.
I'm eager to further improve Spybot support in future releases. Part of that
may involve working with Dave Baum on compiler changes and possibly making
portions of recent additions to the unofficial Spybot API part of the official
built-in API (so that I can more reasonably officially document those API
functions in BricxCC help files). Part of that involves implementing new tool
windows for viewing/editing the EEPROM and viewing the world relation table.
I'm currently of the opinion that the Spybot brick is under-appreciated and it
deserves better support from the LEGO robotics community. :-) There are a lot
of capabilities in that brick which cry out for greater examination (and better
documentation from LEGO).
At present Java support does not include the Code Completion and Code Insight
features that are (in varying degrees) present for
NQC/C/C++/Pascal/MindScript/LASM/pbForth. Obviously BricxCC will never be
JBuilder or Eclipse or Gel when it comes to editing Java source code, but I hope
to eventually add some decent support for Code Completion and Code Insight for
leJOS. Ideas, suggestions, or code contributions here would be more than
welcome. Comments regarding whether including the 1.3MB leJOS help file in the
regular installer would be a mistake or not are also welcome.
Of course, every time I look at that list of languages above I think I'm nuts
for trying to support them all. :-)
Thanks!
