I've just updated the website for pbFORTH with the newest
version of both the source and the srec file.

Thanks to Charles Anderson for pointing out the LCD_SHOW/HIDE
problem.

I've added SOUND_PLAY and SOUND_GET for system sounds, the arbitrary
tone stuff is for later.

One thing I would like some help on is the power-off problem. I've
tried lots of different things, but nothing seems to work.

I have a simple code fragment that clears the display and calls the
power-off routine, but I never get to the return code that
should put a single char on the display and then resume FORTH.

I think a rougue interrupt is getting executed, or that SLEEP isn't
as benign as I'd like. Maybe the LCD processor is waking us up too.
I've got Kekoa's first.c translated to FORTH and I can't figure out
why it doesn't work. I'll get a copy of it up into the test script
directory soon...

Anybody who can shine some light on this is going to be a hero.

Cheers,

Ralph Hempel - P.Eng

So I go looking through the code and find that (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
