This gives me a bit of an idea... Presumably there is not much to stop me
(or anyone else) coding some or all of the non-RCX parts of this LNP thing
using Tcl - 2400 baud is hardly high speed!
I had been wondering about how to keep most of the code platform independant
Tcl would give me that at a stroke + immediate porting to other OSes. It
is also a good opportunity to improve my Tcl!
Do you have any objection if I use your current scripts as a start point?
Credit will obviously be left in the code where appropriate!
BTW, I am going to download a copy of emulegOS - thanks for making it public.
Thanks
Kevin.

In case you don't follow LegOS, EmuLegOS is an emulator for the LegOS libraries, but the latest version contains virtual and real IR support. Baiscally there (...)
