AVR-Chat

Does anyone here program using Forth?  If so, you might be interested
in PFAVR:

     http://claymore.engineer.gvsu.edu/~steriana/Python/pfavr/

I've loaded the hex file into one of my MAVRIC boards and it works no
problem without any changes.  Pretty cool.

I'm not really a Forth expert or anything, but the language seems
pretty interesting and versatile.  Doesn't look like this
implementation supports floating point, though, which is kind've a
bummer.  It only takes up 26K of flash which is only about 20%
capacity of the ATmega128.

Anyway, I thought I'd point this out to anyone here who might be
interested in a free Forth implementation for the AVR.  Good stuff!

Forthians don't like floating-point and generally use fixed-point 
arithmetic.
