    Re: The Datalog —John Barnes
   I have noticed a number of comments about the RCX byte code system, including this thread, which would like to see some sort of datalog read function. My question is; Does Lego have a copyright on the byte code interpretation? If not, then wouldn't (...) (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        RE: The Datalog —Ralph Hempel
     (...) I'm not sure about that, but they certainly have disclaimers on the firmware itself, which prevents us from reverse engineering it. Now, the original intent was probably to prevent a competitor from designing a system which was compatible with (...) (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        Re: The Datalog —Dean Husby
     (...) If we could duplicate the firmware's functions for "the standard" and create a "super set" on top of it for other functions we could really make the RCX a powerful beast. Picture this... Firmware with options when installing it. Do you want (...) (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

     (...) LegOS doesn't use the standard Byte Codes... So, no I did not... If I was proficient in C I probably would like it. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
    
         Re: The Datalog —Dave Chen
     (...) Unfortunately, unless you completely re-engineer the standard firmware you probably won't get the power you need. The jump from LegOS to NQC is relatively painless once you get a working LegOS compiler up and running. I was actually able to (...) (24 years ago, 20-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        Re: The Datalog —Malcolm S. Powell
   (...) It is difficult to see how they could even think they did. Byte code interpretation was a well used implementation technique for Pascal systems back as far as the 70s. UCSD Pascal being one of the best known examples. I think Visual Basic (...) (24 years ago, 11-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
