I poked about a bit also and found: (URL) 3.html This is one source of both givio.sys, and the instdrv.exe which will register the giveio.sys as a system device driver.

(...) I think you're confusing the issue a little bit. LegOS only initializes GLOBAL variables when the program is loaded.

Maybe a stupid question, Is there any reason why I can't use any old 9v AC adapter for my RCX? Thanks, Bob (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi! I read that legOS only declared varibles the first time the program is run. Does this mean I cannot use local variables. I have loops in different functions using 'i' as looping variable, which is locally declared. Should I avoid this? Tobias (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

This is a great idea, Ralph. I've wanted to just fool around in pbForth, but have been intimidated by the apparent front-end learning curve. I'm a mechanical guy, I don't do TclTk, Gnu, etc., I've been spoiled by GUI front ends and install programs. (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

I am trying out the lnp functionality with addressing and such, and of course I had to recompile the legos kernel.
