| | | | 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)

| | | | | | | (...) 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 (...)

| | | | | (...) 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)
