Hi Carsten,
Nice to see an interest to the subject (even not so cheerful ;)
Ok, first question, you are right, it's quite boring. But this is the price
for "power". I believe that only direct byte-code uploading will be faster. My
only suggestion - use some alternative uploader. For instance, I’m using my
own Java implementation. My usual settings are 0 ms for character delay and
100 ms for line delay. In additional, my uploader suppresses all blanks
(including the comments). So, I have loaded quite big programs (even packages
from other Forth systems) relatively fast.
Choice to use the standard terminal is up to you. You can adapt/implement/use
anything that sends a byte steam into the COM port.
Second question, I have tested SAVE-SYSTEM word only under the Windows
(NT/98). I will try it under the Cygwin emulation today (don't have any Unix
box running now). Not sure I have 'cu' somewhere around, but I will try.
Could you explain little bit more the problem with SAVE-SYSTEM word?
Regards
Sergey
