You're right, I should try pbForth, actually I intend to do that for a while but
never jumped in.
In the late 80's, I was involved in a point of sales terminal project that was
programmed with a preemptive multitasking Forth, so I have a thicker Forth
varnish than many... nevertheless I still feel uncomfortable with its advanced
features (I was on the hardware side of the project and only wrote simple test
applications).
Cheers,
