  RE: LEGO Tower API and Filenames
 
(...) Claude, I've written a little C program that tries to open "\\.\LEGOTOWER1" and on otherwise identical computers (except one is running Win98SE and the othre runs Win2K) only the Win2K machine can open the file. Of course, the LEGO tools work (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Re: LEGO Tower API and Filenames
 
(...) Right with \\.\...., but at least with Win98SE the port is correctly found. Great to here you Ralph. (20 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  LEGO Tower API and Filenames
 
All, I've been messing with the tower API and have discovered what I think is an error in the docs... Fisrt off, the API help file tells us to open "\.\LEGOTOWERx" In fact, the file name must look like this: "\\.\LEGOTOWERx" Even worse, the filename (...)

  RE: Problem with rcxTcl.exe and the USB IR tower
 
(...) I fanlly got a spare machine with a fresh Win98 install, and then I installed the LEGO tower driver. Sure enough, rcxTcl.exe does not find the USB tower.... So I have some investigating to do. Ralph (20 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Re: WORDLIST
 
(...) Lucky you! We had just some cm's and its all melting away today:( Ok, here's a new version of SEE, WORDS and friends for pbforth 2.x (tested on 2.1.5). First there are some words (Graphic? ... Head) which actually exist in pbforth, but without (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Re: IR problems
 
(...) I did not explain my problem properly but you got it anyway! I do use EKEY? before EKEY, but sometimes EKEY seems to block. Thanks for taking your time to look into this. As for the new word (wow!), in Forth-79, there was a word called ?KEY (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  RE: WORDLIST
 
I should help with this tooo, maybe this weekend. Sigh. We just got between 60cm and 90 cm of fresh snow, so snowboarding and shovelling will be the primary activities, unless the roads are closed - which does happen frequently... Ralph (...)

  RE: IR problems
 
(...) EKEY always waits for input. Use EKEY? to see if anything is available... Looking at the source, I see that there is a possiblity that in the time between checking for a character with EKEY? and actually reading it with EKEY, that an error can (...)

  Re: WORDLIST
 
(...) There used to be:-) My code was written for pbforth 1.x which turned to be incompatible with 2.x (I've been out of contact with pbForth for some time and only recently got my RCX back). My fault for not testing it on the current version. Mea (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Re: WORDLIST
 
(...) On a plain pbForth system I get errors when trying to load this code. What do you mean by "wordlist extensions required"? Is there source code available somewhere which adds the wordlist extensions to pbForth? My pbForth doesn't know about (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
