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 whitepace parser and comment remover is a great idea, and I can think
of a few others., such as a built in database of common definitions for
words that can be used. The shell would scan your code for things it needs and
pull them out of the code base.
I can work on the serial driver (it has to be 1 char at a time). The only thing
is that there is not yet a Tcl serial driver for the Mac!!!!
The new 8.1 Tck from <http://www.scriptics.com> has a non-greedy regular expression
engine option, which makes comment stripping way easier.
Just a few thoughts...
Cheers,
