Cruise speed until near a siding, then slow speed to approach siding, and finally "creeping" speed to (...) (19 years ago, 14-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Anyway, you say you have thins thing for BrickOS-I've never used that--I only program in NQC Is this routine adaptable to NQC so I can have NQC and LDCC running on the (...)

Well, you couldn't translate the DCC routines to NQC (if that's what you're asking) because the byte code interpreter used by NQC is simply too slow to generate the correct waveform (by a factor of about 1000!) The DCC routines were written in (...) (19 years ago, 20-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
