I've put together a stand-alone application which I am calling ForthPad. It
is a Windows executable which should run on any version of Windows from 95
on up. It is a simple Forth editor that performs user-configurable syntax
highlighting. Users of pbForth may (or may not) find this useful.
Eventually, I think BricxCC will support NQC as well as Forth, C++, and Java
as a full-featured code editor with syntax highlighting for each language.
How much built-in support will ever be there for direct communication to
non-standard firmwares is yet to be determined. It will at the very least
be able to download non-standard firmwares (I've got that working already).
The next release of BricxCC will probably lessen the usefulness of ForthPad
unless you are looking for a simple Forth-aware editor that doesn't have all
the overhead of BricxCC.
If you are interested in trying ForthPad you can download it from:

| As an aside, I think it might be a straightforward matter to make emacs communicate with the RCX (or intermediary) and then you've got a full blown editor to work with (ie, there are already forth highlighting modes). (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

| (...) Thanks John, I'll try this soon. You may want to post this to the next level higher to let other non-pbForthers see what you are up to. Does your alternative firmware loader take into account the limit at 0xCC00? If the replacement firmware (...) (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
