For instance, Turbo BASIC would produce a 47Kb executable of "hello world" because it links a library of subroutines that for the (...) (26 years ago, 31-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | Simply enough, it DOESN'T take an awful lot of computer resource to program the RCX. You could write a very simple single target (h8) c compiler for it that would be quite small. However building a cross target binutils and egcs compiler for ANY (...) (26 years ago, 4-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
