Description Blackketter Dean 2006-04-16 07:17:42 UTC

It would be useful to the community to be able to run their own code on the squeezebox (for visualizers, etc.) but memory/tools/licensing constraints make it hard to do native code.  We have a license to use graspForth, a very compact forth implementation, on Squeezebox.  I suggest that we use the gdb thread (unused in non-debug builds) to run the interpreter.

Not going to happen, there's no more memory on SB left.
