In the NQC source tree, almost every class is in its own file, which is of course named after the class. So in a sense, truncating the filenames is more (...)

The compiler I have decided to use (Watcom C/C++ v.11 from Powersoft) will compile from the platform I am developing on (NT 4) to the desired executing platform (DOS) and will use long file names just fine.

| No, while the RCX is in an "off" state, the firmware is maintained via a trickle current (something like the CMOS registers in an personal computer) supplied by the batteries. When one removes the batteries, the firmware and any stored programs are (...) (25 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
