Hmm. This question seems to have gone the way of my PC-->IR Tower cable
question.
Let me try to get at the point that most interests me--what is the
difference, at the RCX level, between programs coded in NQC and programs
coded in RCX Code. Is the compiled NQC code closer to the "machine level"?
Dave Baum, are you out there?

| In article (...) Sorry for the delay...I haven't been keeping up with lugnet.robotics as much as I should. NQC generates the same sort of bytecodes that RCX Code does, so they are both at the same "level" (specifically bytecodes executed by an (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
