Re: Stack vs stackless operation

A bit off-topic: I have been in a similar situation when some of
our service engineers were very reluctant to modify inner
software parts of controllers. The guys were not dumb, but with
such modifications comes responsibility when s.th. unexpected
happens like a system crash. So it was more of a legal than a
technical issue.

Yes, I'm aware the reason may be different in the different
case; still Jeff portrayed that situation rather clear way:
they didn't want to use Machine Forth just because "they
were paid for ANS Forth programming", they signed kind of
agreement for that, therefore they "weren't interested" in
any changes etc.
Unfortunately we won't have any opportunity anymore to ask
Jeff for more details.
