Tony,

ROMzap looks really neat!  I would love to make use of it but I develop
under Linux.  Might there be any options to use it under Linux?  I'd be
happy to assist with any GUI, C, Java, C++, or Forth coding.  Perhaps a
first step would be to breadboard the ASCII Programmer from your schematic
and write the serial code to exercise it under Linux.

Thanks!
