 Subj: PORTING UR/FORTH              Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 What are the steps to porting UR to another chip, say the 68HC11? At 
 this point all I know is that I would like to create the following 
 classes of output: Boolean & Ramping functions. 

 In general could I proceed to develop a simulation on my PC and if 
 successful then look for a chip with the appropriate charactersitics.

 eg.

 VARIABLE DUMMY.OUT.1
 VARIABLE DUMMY.OUT.2
                    .
                    .
                    .
 VARIABLE DUMMY.OUT.n


 : STUFF.TO.DUMMY.x  ( CHANNEL--) marvelous.happenings ;

 Once I am content with the simulation, I could then assign DUMMY.OUT.x
 as addresses. 

 Or is this a poor plan? (Bearing in mind I know little about hardware.)
