Being bored uploading all the optional libraries to my pbForth system all the
time, I’ve reinvented the wheel and implemented SAVE-SYSTEM word. Now I can
create many different “saved” pbForth versions and load them at will.

Sergey,

This is an EXCELLENT idea.  On an old project I used to work on, I actually
used an SREC dump routine, but here the tower would cause problems because
the PC would keep having to poll for addresses.

Using XMODEM transfer will work great because it is controlled by the master
which in this case is the PC!! Well done!

If you really think I should, I'll roll this into a new release....

On another note, I'm testing dave Baum's new 4x uploader.....

Wait a minute, why not do an xmodem upload of an srec image....then the user
would not have to deal with installing cygwin tools on the MAC or linux system...

Comments?

Cheers,

Ralph Hempel - P.Eng
