|

GCC 3.3 has made multi-line string literals a syntax error. (They were deprecated from 3.0). This is very annoying, because they made lots of sense for things like inline asms, and brickOS has lots of them. Below are patches which append \n\ to the (...)

The problem does not come from container's container, but from the fact that ROBOLAB adds a 1-sec delay to each system sound call. Instead use play-tone here. There is only a 2/10 sec pause. We have worked over a similar problem in our Boy-scout and (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
