This is a good idea Sergey. Obvoiusly you have got a set of tools up to build
the pbForth from the distribution. Does the makefile work OK for you?
I might suggest that I add a word that turns the echos off or on?
How does ECHO_OFF ( -- ) ECHO_ON ( -- ) sound? They would just set a flag that
enables or disables the EMIT in ACCEPT.
I have a new version I'd like to post shortly, any other ideas for improvements?
I was thinking about adding words to control the upload baud rate, and maybe
a little bit of info for the screen to let everyone know pbForth is alive!
I'm also going to change the licence a bit. I'll have to look at the Mozilla and
GPL licences to check out any important issues.
Cheers,

| Hi Ralph, (...) Yes, it works. After fighting for a while with Cygwin32 + binutils (it's still present a bug in linker configuration), finally I got the development environment. Your makefile works fine so it was very easy to get pbFORTH compiled. (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
