I don't know if this has already been discovered a dozen times before (I
would search to find out, but the text search cgi is down!)... but I just
found something cool.

If you put a link to any RCX Code program with a .rcx extension in a web
browser and click on that link, a text version of that program comes up in
the browser.

That is not very surprising, as RCX Code is text.
So there is no LEGO-awareness in the browser.

it surprised me, since i dind't know that rcx code was text... (robolab sure
isn't text) and yes, i realize that the browser has no lego-awareness and
that a similar effect can be seen with some text editors.  i still think its
cool.

Pretty nifty.

Yes, they did the right thing using text for storage of programs.

yeah - i agree that it ends up taking less memory for each program, and also
makes it easier to translate into some other text-based programming
environment, like nqc, which was what i was getting at. i was really
wondering if such a thing had been attempted. :)
