I have been asked for an opinion of the book _Embedded Controller Forth for the 8051_ written by William Payne. I remember seeing a bit of traffic about this book in the past few months, and I'd like to incorporate the wisdom of those who have used or carefully read it rather than just do a superficial job. Please be as specific as possible. -- Do you think the book was useful for a non-Forth expert? -- Do you think the book was useful for a Forth expert? -- What did you like about the book? -- What didn't you like about the book? -- Was the implementation approach practical? (I remember several comments suggesting it was not up to state of the art) -- Would you like to see similar books for other CPUs? Thank you for any comments. Your participation will help advance the state of Forth publications. Phil Koopman koopman@greyhound.ece.cmu.edu Internet 2525A Wexford Run Rd. (412) 935-6697 Wexford, PA 15090
