Hi John, Just to let you know that I have the same version of PbForth and it works fine with BricxCC version 3.3 (Build 3.3.7.7). Would you like me to try your new version here? Bye Mario (20 years ago, 18-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) It is a leftover from LabVIEW. When you create a sub.vi, LabVIEW reuses the name of whatever is wired to the control/indicator. This behavior makes perfect sense in LabVIEW but much less so in Robolab. FWIW, the names are little more than (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi, After a sub-vi is created, there are two controls created namely begin and end. Would someone explain why they are backwards? That means, it creates an "end" control linked to the beginning of the sub-vi, while the "begin" at the end. Thank in (...)
