Hi, a few years ago I made an upgrade to ficl 4.0 and some other changes which brought among other things: - A somewhat simpler C-interface (IMHO) - Real compression for the softwords - A user-land ficl executable which acted exactly like the bootloader for better forth development A first step to get back on this topic would be to vendor import the related ficl versions (ficl33, ficl40, ficl41) and move the currently used ficl33 from sys/boot/ficl to sys/contrib/ficl and separate the local modifications from the vendor code. Any objections in general? What would be the preferred method? - Vendor import of ficl33 as described in the commiters guide - svn copy of ficl33 to sys/contrib/ficl - svn copy of the locally modified ficl33 files or reapply the local changes? Other suggestions? Thanks in advance! Greetings --- Michael Reifenberger
