Hi Wolfgang,
yes, we remember you very well. You indeed gave us a good starting point 
with RTX2000 and LMI-Forth.
Important for us was that we were able to purchase the  LMI-Metacompiler 
sources, allowing us to extend and fix it for our project.

Finally we made the DPU's for 5 different PHILAE experiments ROLIS, 
COSAC, MUPUS, SESAME, SD2. All five boards worked well till the end of 
Philae primary battery power, and will hopefully wake-up again sometime 
next year...
