Wow! I haven't looked at this, and probably won't until I get
more Java experience, but thanks for the effort.
Just to keep everyone up to date on pbFORTH, I have (as usual)
got too much other stuff on my plate right now. I am going
to have some knee surgery in the next week, so I might have
some time to update the docs and put up the new release.
Biggest features are:
1. Cooperative realtime kernel!!!
2. FORTH words closely mimic RCX ROM calls
3. MARKER word to allow erasing trial definitions
4. RCX variables in low RAM for continuous address space
I will work on a Tcl/Tk interface/database/compressor
soon to allow libraries to be sent up to the RCX in a compact
execuable form.
Maybe Kekoa's floating point library can be linked in too...
Cheers,
