Well, pbFORTH DOES have the ability to emit arbitrary bytes by the
use of the EMIT word. And it has the ability to receive arbitrary
bytes since that's how the terminal program talks to it. It's all
ASCII - there are no "packets"...
Is THIS the key feature that finally brings RCX users over to the pbFORTH
camp? Inquiring minds want to know.
Maybe I need to develop a neat little app that allows a single RCX to
communicate with the PC on a continuous basis. If only that stupid
narcoleptic tower would stay awake longer!!!
