I would like to announce the release of version 0.6 of RCX.pm. This perl module allows you to communicate with your RCX.

Ooops, Figured it out. When you set the RCXTTY variable, leave out the spaces. ie: set RCXTTY=com4 NOT: set RCXTTY = com4 The whitespace is not parsed out by the MS-DOS command line. Now that I have the frmdl3.exe and dll.exe recognizing com4, I'm (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Thanks for the info, I tried setting the environment variable (running Win 95) RCXTTY=com4 without much effect. I did get frmdl3.exe to send out to com4 with the following: frmdl3.exe --tty=com4 legOS.srec However, dll.exe still won't send via com4. (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

The easiest way is to set the environment variable RCXTTY to the com port you want to use.
