Hi all,

By some twist of fate I lost the source code for a robot project I was working
on. However, the object code still resides in my RCX.

I would like to pull it off the RCX and disassemble it, so I can start work on
it again. I had originally written it in nqc, and I have a rough idea of how
it was structured. It used a set of prioritized tasks that interrupted each
other to build a subsumption style architecture.

The only tools I've found so far for Linux allow me to download the datalogs.
Are there any tools to download the program contents of the RCX?

Thanks in advance,
Mark
