(...) It does. The RIS GUI saves the programs in *.lsc files (in the "Vault"). These programs appear to be a C language variant. The LabView environment does the same thing. TFP (20 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Well my understaing of JIT compiler is that its a part of the actual runtime so I'm not sure how it would be on the PC?! Though you got me thinking (dangerous), perhaps the best way to program the NXT is not to run a binary but instead use an (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
