Hi, yes, currently, you'll have to make main() your first function. version 0.2.1 will support arbitrary starting offsets. could you report about the stability of repeated program runs? if this works fine, I'll change the ON/OFF behaviour to (...)

Hi Ralph, (...) Yes, it works. After fighting for a while with Cygwin32 + binutils (it's still present a bug in linker configuration), finally I got the development environment. Your makefile works fine so it was very easy to get pbFORTH compiled. (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

I know most lego alternative SW seems to be Open Source, but please don't flame me for asking this question - ImageCraft is a company that provides low cost C compilers for 8/16 bit microcontrollers such as Atmel AVR, Moto HC11/12/16.

(...) Hi, I don't see this as a matter of choice. It really depends on what you want to do with your robots. NQC programs are executed directly on the RCX and needs no communication with the PC, whereas programs written in VB using SPIRIT.OCX are (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi Zac, Dave Baum's NQC is excellent ... not quite the capabilities of pbForth, but *much* easier to learn. Mark Overmars' RCX-CC makes NQC even easier to use ... and best of all, both Dave and Mark have made their efforts available for use free of (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I'd recommend NQC; if you use visual basic, you'll need to go through a lot of communicating-with-the-brick and user-interface crap every time you want to make a program. With NQC, you concentrate on writing your code for the robot, and don't (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Zac, I may not understand your objectives, but I'd say that using NQC with the Rcx Command Center RcxCC is the current best choice for work that is primarily concerned with programming the Rcx and Robots. You'll find it very easy to use, and there's (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
