No, it's not documentation for pbFORTH - yet. I have found a decent book on
line, it is Tim Hendtlass's Real-Time FORTH book. It is really geared for FPC, a
dialect that is available for the PC, but the sections on numbers, stack
manipulation, defining words, etc are so well done that I can't even justify
spending time trying to do as good a job.

What I will do, soon, is to put together a detailed doc on how to get
pbFORTH into the RCX, and then spell out the differences you need to
keep in mind when reading Tim's book.

Finally, a few pages on how to apply the RCX interface library and the multitasker
to typical RCX problems will be added.

Please have a look at the book (its about a 875K PDF file) and let me know what
you think...

<ftp://ftp.taygeta.com/pub/Forth/Literature> you want the rtfv5.pdf file

If I put it in the link, it ends up giving you the doc in the browser, not
just downloading the file....

Cheers,
