  Assembly tool?
 
Hello, I was wondering what tool I need to compile the pbFORTH asm files. I have the tools that are used for legOS--is there something there that can assemble the asm files? Thanks, Jonathan (26 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  RE: Assembly tool?
 
(...) Jonathan, you use the GNU toolchain to assemble the files, but why bother? The pbforth.srec file is available for download and it is complete by itself.

Ah, in that case you will need my pbFORTH IDE and downloader, which is not on the drawing board yet, but just a wishlist: o filter out ddoouubbllee letters, use echo to check o fast download, skipping comments and compressing whitespace, macro (...)

(...) John, Are you thinking of doing this in TclTk as discussed before? If so, why don't we collaborate a bit...I've done a serial handler in TclTk for a proprietary RS485 network at 9600 baud. At 2400 baud, I'm sure I could do the same. Your (...) (26 years ago, 19-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
