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 Linux oriented than acceptable. I have programmed years
with the gnu's c/c++ excellent environment in NT, but found that it's too
time consuming to port legOS to NT :-().
What would be your program's main benefits compared to the ones mentioned
above?

| I have to have a look at it, but as it looks it would have the nice and easy interface known from Lego's RCX programmer but with all functions provided by the spirit.ocx.

| legOS runs fine under the cygwin environment in NT- I finally even tried it myself :) Was there a specific problem that you were having in the porting? The cygnus install is not straightforward- I'll be the first to admit that- but if you are (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
