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 about networking? is it supported, and how (RCX <-> RCX, RCX <->
PC, or both?)

-And in the toolbar of the IC4 program there is a button for the IC-manual,
but this button is disabled. Can I download this manual somewhere?
