If the readme file says the demo LX files are included, that is a
mistake (or
should I include them?). I'll have to correct it. As for your download
problem,
did you download the firmware first (firmdl3 legOS.srec)? LX files are
relocatible programs and require the legOS firmware to already reside in
the RCX.
To set your tower port to com2, you need to add an environment variable:
set RCXTTY=com2
Or use a command line switch. Run firmdl3 without anything and it will
tell you
the supported switches.

Perhaps you need to download a newer version of WinZip. I'm using
version 6.3 and
it doesn't have any problems with GZ files. You also need Adobe Acrobat
Reader to
view the pdf file.

| Hi Rossz (...) Yes, I downloaded the legOS.srec on top of the existing Lego firmware and some programs. When you download the legOS firmware will anything currently in RAM be deleted?
