Ok I'll look at  -/devel/rforth1, because your desgns were well structured;
but I've lost enthusiasm for pic.

Because the whole original minimal design has been abandoned.
It's like taking a 2CV and adding electric windows and air bags.

IMO the pic architechture is not scaleable, and it's absurd to try
multitasking ...etc. as if it was eg. an ARM.

Perhaps the dspVersion is interesting ?
Perhaps for eg. cheap mp3 players ?
I don't know enough.

Thanks for picforth.
