  Re: Running legOS under DJGPP Status
 
(...) If it helps, I got binutils to compile by using the --disable-bfd-assembler option to configure. Then I ran into gcc troubles. I just gave up and bought Linux. dll and firmdl3 will need major rewrites because DJGPP has no tty functionality. A (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  re: new name
 
You might consider getting a trademark so that not even lego can say anything to us about the name. Is this an expensive prospect? How about a superfund for it? Probably would want to get it in the names of all the major authors. Frank (22 years ago, 20-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  lnp on alternate microcontrollers
 
Has anyone tackled putting lnp on a non-lego microcontroller? This would be an interesting project. Frank (22 years ago, 20-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Aborting from ISR
 
(...) Hi, the nice thing in this solution is that it doesn't inspect or touch the user return stack at all. The structures that are used to get to the FIP (instruction pointer) - namely: the position of the saved D-stack in the *private* R-stack and (...)

  Re: Aborting from ISR
 
Hi, (...) Yup, that does what I want, although I can't remember enough about forth internals to work out why it works. But it does seem to depend on the return stack having a particular structure, so I do wonder - what happens if the interrupt (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Have you tried installing the SDK 2.0? (URL) had to do that on my W2K laptop in order to get the USB Tower to work. -Rob. (22 years ago, 20-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  XP vs USB Tower and BrixCC
 
Does BrixCC support the USB tower in Windows XP? I cannot seem to make mine work. I have reinstalled the program, but to no avail. Any ideas? -- Bob Fay THE SHOP (URL) (22 years ago, 20-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

  Lazy newbieish question

Have you tried the 0.2.6.05 ?? I remember something in this area while I was debugging RCX message passing.
