It would be handy if there was a word that deleted firmware. It is often inconvenient to get at the batteries. At Kekoa I see the opcode but no rom entry point. Trashing the header in memory and jumping to the reset vector might do it. I wonder if (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) This is wierd. I had it working on my Caldera Linux 2.2 which has TclTk 8.0.4 I'll try again. One of the problems is that I can't seem to get a nice NFS system running here, and I have to FTP the files around... :-( I'll try and make a better (...)

Firmware download is not working. I'm sorry but I never tried this with the first release. A second problem is that it gives no error message if the firmware download fails. I got suspicious because the download was too fast and the LCD was not (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) o - When will 1.2.0 sources be available? I'd rather be working from current stuff. Does the gui depend on this version of pbforth? o - rcxtk.tcl should have executable permission in the tarball. This can be done with the -p flag to tar (...)

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. It's just that you build up a bag of tricks after a while or take up application development instead. :-) One of the (...) (24 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
