This is a non-trivial project, which could be worth following. But: engineering =cost benefit analysis ? Some of these points could go into the FAQ. I started with picforth. But while I was waiting for Dosemu to mature, so that I could better not have to use a DOS-box to program the chips, the technology moved beyond me. The whole ideas of pic: minimal dil-devices; seems to have morphed to absurdity - like upgrading a wheel-barrow to a locomotive ! Q - before I d/l the 37K *.tar.gz, must I particularly get plt-scheme too ? I've got a [presumably standard] scheme already installed and tested and convenient. I use oberon, not C, and getting into CVS/darc could be a can-of-worms. Q - obviously there's linux executables, or source + compilation-scripts available ? We all want minimal committment initially ? Thanks, == Chris Glur. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
