For those of you overwhelmed by the work involved to get a viable legOS
developement system on the Windows OS, legOS for Windows is now
available.  If you only wish to write dynamic downloadable programs for
the RCX, this package is all you need.  If you wish to make changes to
the legOS firmware you must install Perl.  I recommend ActivePerl from
Active State.  Go to http://activestate.com.

legOS for Windows can be found at
http://arthurdent.dorm.duke.edu/legos/archives/windows/WinlegOS.exe.
This is a self extracting installer based on InstallShield 5.5.  After
installing, you should read README.WRI.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible.

I too have had my problems with this system. Perhaps they come from my inexperience with LEGOS or UNIX, which doubtless is apparent in my description below: Downloading and installing went well. Then, after correcting a minor SET PATH syntax error (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
