Thanks, everyone, this is very helpful. (Thanks to Steve especially for that very handy comparison table.) I should have mentioned up front that I'm using a Mac, so that rules out a couple of otherwise interesting options. But NXC looks like a good (...) (17 years ago, 29-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
