If you were willing to use NQC, you could use the "lego script" and
ATLclient to compile it, they are very similar. I'm sure RIS2.0 comes
with the ATLclient library, but it doesn't come with the little executive
standalone "atlclient.exe" that is in the SDK. It's 100% lego.

| I think we would be allowed to use "lego script", but I have no experience with it, and last time I tried to download the SDK it was unavailable. -- Steve (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics)
