I'm almost certain, but not quite, that the original RIS 1.0 GUI did not save
programs in textual form (MindScript). I believe that functionality was
introduced in a later release.
When you say "the LabView environment does the same thing" I have to ask you
what you mean. LabView definitely does not save programs in a textual form.
Neither does Robolab. Robolab does allow you to see the LASM that is generated
by the Robolab compiler but it doesn't actually store programs in that form (to
my knowledge). The software for the NXT brick may store programs in a textual
form but I highly doubt that it will do so since (if I recall the information
from the press release correctly) it is written by National Instruments and is
based on LabView.
