Hello,

This is not for the faint of heart. I wrote a Java 2-based
pbFORTH console that strips out repeated characters when
talking with the RCX (most of the time). It still chokes

It's a source-only release. You'll need Java 2 and also
the Communications API (for the serial port stuff). It's
version 0.2 and I cannot provide any support whatsoever.
I suggest you don't try running this unless you're already
a Java jock of some sort.

If you enhance it in some way, please tell me about it.
I may add the capability to upload text files, but don't
hold your breath.

The source code is here:

Jonathan
