Cycling through all of the Com ports with the nqc command (nqc -SCOM1,2,4 -d test.nqc) gives the message 'Could not open serial port' for each port tried. nqc -SCOM3 -d test.nqc gives the error 'no replay from RCX'.

What com port is the tower attached to? By default, NQC assumes com port 1. If you use a different port, you'll need to specify it either with a -S option or by setting the RCX_PORT environment variable. For example, if you are using COM 2, you (...) (25 years ago, 8-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(and all of the RCXcc updates) I have been happily using Linux to write nqc programs for over a year now, but I needed to migrate back to Windows 2000 for a while. So far, I can do everything I need except program my RCX! I loaded the Mindstorms (...) (25 years ago, 8-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Using a unit of energy for torque would be very strange. You get an energy if you turn s.th. against a torque through some angle (expressed in radians, I think). Angles have no unit (or just 1), hence the units of torque and energy are equal. (...) (25 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
