Dear John, Thank you very much for the further improvement of Brixcc! I could install the package including brickOS on a Win 98 system as well as download the related firmware, but could not compile any of the demos!? Besides that: You said: "Of course, every time I look at that list of languages above I think I'm nuts for trying to support them all. :-)" Despite the fact that might be true to a certain extent :-), why not making it more complete by adding support for Interactive C (IC4), which is not as limited as NQC, but as far as I know is not nearly as tricky to install as brickOS (and therefore might be integrated more easily)? Regards, Dirk

(...) Apparently, there are problems running on Win98 (I've heard from another person who is having similar issues). I am trying to figure them out. I'll post here once I have a definitive answer.
