[PicForth] PicForth Bootloader Kit

[David McNab]

Hi,

As previously asked, I've put together a 'kit' for bootloading PicForth 
programs.

http://www.freenet.org.nz/pic/picforth/bootloader.html

Kit includes:
  - Samuel's serial-monitor.fs, with slight changes to suit 16F87xA chips
  - PicForth include file, which causes PicForth to structure your
    apps appropriately for bootloading
  - example program - a 'hello, world' led-blinker
  - 'pfd' - a downloader utility script (in python) - easy to use.

After a week of continually moving my PIC from proto board to programmer 
for re-flashing, which took up to 3 minutes each time, it's bliss to be 
now downloading progs to bootloader at 57.6kb/s, which takes only 
seconds even for large programs.
