I just got a book in that might be interesting to those of you working on 8051
systems.  It is:

        Embedded Controller FORTH
          For the 8051 Family
        William H. Payne
        1990 Academic Press, Inc.
        ISBN 0-12-547570-5

It has an interesting table of contents (which I won't type in) and includes a
complete nucleus for the 8051 and a PC version of Forth that you can type in
from the hex listing (oh boy :-).  The author has placed all of the code (it
appears) in the public domain and much of it looks likes it originates from
F83.  They also do include source for the Nautilus Cross Compilers for those
who have that system.

Has anyone read this book?  Is it worth while?  Does the code work? Is the
code available in electronic format?

I obviously haven't read it yet, but I thought I'd get the ball rolling before
I go looking for another round toit.
