I am responding to both Mario and Gus in this one post. I am trying to
update my RCXcc so it can use the newer versions of NQC and RCX2 under
Windows ME.

Uh, I am using Windows ME, so I went to Control Panel and then System and
then I got a window named System Properties, with the following four tabs,
none of which seem to contain what you are talking about: General, Device
Mgr, Hardware Profiles, and Performance. So at this point I am stuck.

Thanks for your resources. I have deleted the old version of NQC in my RCXcc
folder and then downloaded the RCXcc-NQC-22.reg into my NQC folder (where I
also have NQC 2-2-r2. Under your Step 1.2 I am supposed to alter the
autoexec.bat file. I assume you mean the autoexec.file that my system
recognizes when I boot up (sorry, I am a liberal arts major, not engineer!).
Don't really know where it is on
Windows ME (or on Windows period). And I wasn't able to decode Mario's
comments above.
I have used regedit before, so I don't anticipate problems with that part of
the workaround solution - but maybe I am overly optimistic. :-)

| Hi Alan, you *can* use RcxCC with the new firmware. RcxCC has not been updated so in its native mode it doesn't support the new version of NQC. But for effect of downward compatibility it has no problems in communicating to the new firmware through (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
