The new 2.1.3 Version of pbForth has a few minor bugs fixed, including a stack error in SOUND_TONE and a pesky communications bug that causes the RCX to hang if you shine a bright light at it.

Thanks go out to David Rojas and Rob Harvey for supplying great bug reports!

If you are doing any work without this book, then stop right now and buy yourself a copy! If I had to pick one book that I could not work without, this would be it.

Programming Pearls

by Jon Bentley

Buy it at Amazon.com

This is a classic on algorithms and tuning that should be on all programmers' bookshelves. Jon Bentley has a way of phrasing the most arcane aspects of computer science into understandable terms. I have the original edition of this book, and it is one of the volumes I turn to for inspiration when I'm having a "stupid day" in front of a computer.
