I'd like to announce the availability of an early trial version of a GUI for pbForth. It's written in TclTk, a free scripting language, but that's transparent to the user. (URL) The GUI runs under Windows and Linux, and as soon as I can find a (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I'm not suggesting that it isn't hard. Compared to native debugging with printf and gdb in an emacs window it is quite hard.

Hi! When using lnp_integrity_write(&data, length), what is the length argument used for? The data can only be one byte long if I understand it correctly.

Ralph, I suggest that you factor a proceedure out of the tcl uploadScript that sends a string to the RCX. This could then be used for additional menu or tcl commands that send Forth code to the RCX.
