OK. so far so good. I did that ages ago.

but then you say this:

"...The ability to rebuild the BrickOS kernal"

is it as easy as opening up file xyz in notepad, and changing bit 3 to x??? or
presumably you have already modified the kernal, and have that new file saved as
BOS-V1.0.frm (or whatever)

in which case, im wondering if you could just make that available with the
proper  credits (and permissions) of course.

There are two places you could have downloaded the BrickOS stuff from.
1) The NQC site, which has everything (like the kernal) pre-built.
2) The BrickOS site, where YOU need to build everything.

If you did #1, it may be hard for you to rebuild the kernal.
If you did #2, you can swap out a couple files (the ones I've changed) and build it
again.  You don't even need to open notepad.  :)

Actually, I was thinking about writing the send program into the kernal.  Then, I
could just post firmware that can be downloaded (via normal firmware download
techniques) to an RCX.


DEAL.  if you do that, then i will, at your discretion, revoke, or re-apply your
honorary membership to rtlToronto.

I think this is the way to go.  Let me work on this, and I'll tell you later, what
you can do with the honorary membership...

You know, after the first time I read through the SDK for 2.0, I always wanted to try sending immediate commands from the RCX to another one. that, I suspect, I can do with the standard firmware and NQC (I'll have to try).
