Hi Erik, Starting after the 1.0.7 version, echo from RCX was disabled (controlled by RCX_ECHO variable, off by default). Current version (1.1.0 as I remember) shouldn't show any echo. At least with "standard" terminals. I've tried Hyperterminal, (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Hi Ralph, (...) There is present automatic detection in XMODEM protocol group (they are three XMODEM, XMODEM/CRC and XMODEM-1k). But difference comparing to YMODEM and ZMODEM is bigger.

| | Save image in pbForth (without any save-supporting code)

Hi Ralph, It appears to be a quite easy task - to save the pbForth image without SAVE- SYSTEM support. Only thing you need to do is to define a marker before you will upload the “save” words: MARKER end_of_image [ upload SAVE-SYSTEM support ] After (...)

Hi Ralph, Here are my results regarding MARKER and multitasker problem: small additional code in MARKER word could do the trick. It was even easier then I though: you don’t need to put tasks in the “sleep” mode. Just remove them from the task chain (...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
