Interactive-C 4.01 for RCX rotation sensor support?

I started playing with IC4.01 from KIPR (http://www.kipr.org/) which you can
download from http://www.kipr.org/ic/download/. It supports both the Handyboard
*and* the RCX controller, and since I use both I thought of using IC4 instead
of say, legOS, just to have a consistent development environment across both.

It looks pretty good and supports most of the good stuff, eg floating point.
But for some reason the RCX version does not appear to include drivers for
monitoring and decoding Lego rotation sensors. There are IC drivers for Lego
rotation sensors that come with the Handyboard's expansion board, but seemingly
none for the RCX itself. I suppose I can write my own routine to monitor the
analog sensor inputs and decode the 4 voltage levels into ticks, but this seems
somewhat a glaring ommision. Am I missing something?

(...) I've just downloaded IC4 and played around whit it for a while and indeed,it looks pretty good. But now I have some small questions about it: -Is there a limited count of variables (like in NQC) or is it "unlimited" (like in LegOS)? -And how (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) memory protect violation. Is anyone using the linux version and can give me some advice? Regards, Michael (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
