In order to use NQC (the compiler used by RCX Command Center) you will
need the official Lego firmware. Robolab will download this to the RCX
for you, so you won't need to get the Mindstorms RIS software if you want
to use NQC as a stand-alone tool.
RCX Command Center uses the Spirit.ocx component installed as part of the
Mindstorms RIS software. I'm not sure how much of RcxCC can be used when
spirit.ocx is not installed.
Software that uses replacement firmware (legOS, pbForth) require
absolutely no Lego software (other than what's already burned into the
RCX's ROM).
