Hmmm... according to that, it looks like I should be able to run a
simulation of an RCX on a fly.  ;)

Absolutely, if you happen to know fly assembler, or have a good fly
compiler. You'd also need to figure out how to load your program into the
fly's nervous system, assuming it's not mostly just read-only. A virus might
work.

Hmmm. TclTk sports an "on-the-fly" bytecode compiler...does that help?

LOL!

BTW, speaking of viruses (in the good sense) and on-the-fly bytecode
compiling, do any of the RCX packages currently support the spontaneous
exchange of high-level code between two or more RCX bricks?  It seems like
it would almost be a freebie in pbFORTH if it has something analagous to
PostScript's 'cvx exec' and if it made IR-exchange of arbitrary strings
relatively easy.
