I guess we have enough new users here that I can start flogging
pbForth again.....and I just released a new version that lets you
build a kernel on the RCX itself!! That's right, the RCX is the
compiler so it works with Macs, PCs, Linux, Sun, even a PalmPilot
as soon as someone gets a firmware uploader going...:-)
If you need arrays, multitasking , LOTS of variables and fairly
advanced expression evaluation ,and you want to be able to debug
and test your system using human readable data streams, then
pbForth is for you. OK, you have to learn Forth, but there are lots
of folks here willing to help. Well, I am anyways. Follow the
sigline....
