Hi Ralph, (...) Thank you very much :-) (...) I gave it a look and so I've just released the new version of my Brick's Music Studio that supports pbForth. I'm not a pbForth user yet, so I was wandering if you and Mario could give it a try :-) You (...) (22 years ago, 27-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

|

The new 2.1.4 Version of pbForth has a minor fix that affected programmers using the MARKER word. I recommend you get the new 2.1.2 GUI while you're at it because it is less agressive in stripping comments when uploading scripts. This was causing (...)

At first, it seems logical that firmdl3 would be the best place to make the change. However, it was very easy to allow the Host ID to be changed at runtime. Whether changed by a user program or changed via the RCX buttons/lcd, it is easy enough to (...) (22 years ago, 24-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
