Hy I'm the author of MLCad and I'm dreaming a bit now. My idea was to write
a program which is able to program the CyberMaster and the RCX brick.
To construct the program I though I might use something like building blocks
one for each possible operation, statement... (generally similar to Lego's
Invention System Software).
But it would be able to load the program to a CyberMaster brick as well and
maybe the program is a little bit more handy than Lego's software.

I would not start with this program, if you think its waisted time ... or
please report ... if you saw a program like that somewhere else. Don't mix
it up with other firmware projects for the RCX since this doesn't work with
the CyberMaster!!!!

Please post comments to this group or send them via e-mail

Regards,
   Mike

Michael, You can program the RCX and CyberMaster with quite many languages (such as Visual J++, Visual C++, Visual Basic) using the spirit.ocx. Also the RCX ControlCenter with NQC is pretty good. (The legOS would be the ultimate thing, but it's more (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I think Ralph has good advice. I personally wouldn't use a graphical block building programming interface. I hate the RCX Code software that comes with the RIS. I've been using NQC under Windows NT and have been very pleased with it. A better (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
