Hi,
My original query arose from the need to add extra math capabilities to
PicForth.
I came across a stack-based math package for PIC that's GPL'ed, hence
the query to this list.
However, the free version of the Hi-Tech C compiler comes with a license
which imposes zero encumbrance on generated code.
So all I need to do is write a simple C function for each mathematical
function I need to perform, compile that function down to assembler,
then wrap it into a PicForth function. This will give me the
unencumbered code I've been needing.
Problem solved.
I could write the math libs myself, but who wants to reinvent wheels,
especially when some clever bit-bashing assembler-heads have already
done it better/faster/smaller than I'm likely to come up with?
Anyway, thanks for all your replies to the question.

David
