Here's the problem! I don't have fast0103.lgo, on swan's site there's only version 1.01. I think using that firmware (where can we find it?) and new NQC API all my problems are solved.

With the latest version of NQC you no longer need to include the old swan.nqh header file. The old swan.nqh file (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

All those flowers look really nice on the scenery. However, the grey ground provides some unnatural look. Have you considered using brown baseplates? Or, as they are hard to find, some sort of green ones? Regards, Chris (21 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town, FTX)
