    leJOS & BricxCC news —John Hansen
   I have BricxCC compiling and downloading leJOS programs now. The support for leJOS is integrated in much the same way as BrickOS support is. BricxCC generates a Makefile and executes it using Bash. So GNU make and bash are required for it to (...) (21 years ago, 29-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

        RE: leJOS & BricxCC news —Ralph Hempel
   John, Thanks for continuing to work on this. It's one of the things that keeps me motivated to continue supporting pbForth. Now, there has not bee much traffic there lately, and I have not done much with it becuase as far as I know, things are "just (...)

        pbForth & ROLL —John Hansen
     (...) While testing my console the other day I kept getting pbForth to hang (or so it appeared). It turns out I was passing ROLL a number that caused it to do bad things. I'm wondering whether it should error out with "aborted stack underflow" or (...) (21 years ago, 6-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
    
         RE: pbForth & ROLL —Ralph Hempel
     (...) John, As always, it depends. ROLL can sometimes be recovered gracefully, but not always. If you ROLL more than the stack depth, you'll shift some RAM that you probably don't want to shift - like the pbForth image itself. In that case, there's (...)

        Re: leJOS & BricxCC news —Brian B. Alano
    (...) Hmmm. I was seriously considering writing a leJOS package to support the LDCC IR Protocol. (Here's why: (URL) ) What capabilities were you going to add? Depending on your timeline, you might convince me to try FORTH. (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

     Hi, (...) I'm having a bit of difficulty to understand what you are trying to do, as I know Lejos but not the DCC/train side of things.
