Dave, All of these additions to NQC sound great ... especially the char and bool data types! There is no way that we (all the NQC users) can adequately express our appreciation for all of your work in developing and freely distributing NQC. I hope (...)

Hi! well, I am missing something in an otherwise great RcxCC... Variable values display in dec/hex/binary would be great, as converting by hand every time is tedious. thanks /Vlad (25 years ago, 22-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Our first RCX has a sensor port failure on port 3 (Aaaarghhh...). The sensor port will read 0 and 1 only. It can react with the touch, light and rotation sensors (showing 0 or 1), so it somehow still senses if a sensor is present. We have no idea (...) (25 years ago, 21-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
