hi John, looks good, but I can't use it yet. The main problem I have is that I can't see my templates. At once I found them, a window 10 pixels win width and 25 pixels in height, and I can't get it bigger. Am I doing something wrong ? Very nice (...)

Rather than postpone this upload until I'm completely done with the feature, I decided to make it available for anyone interested since I think it is turning out to be very nice.

Completely dead? no response of any kind when you push the ON/OFF button? I ask because if battery power is off for too long, the firmware evaporates and the RCX is pretty non -responsive. But the LCD is not blank. If this is the case, download the (...) (23 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi there! (...) 0th law of computer science: NEVER use == on floats; it simply doesn't work as expected. In most cases a value cannot be exactly represented as a float variable; so MOST comparisons for equality WILL fail. (this is NOT an issue of (...)
