Ed - Take a look at patch [568061] posted on SourceForge by 'Ingolf'. The problem looks easily resolved by changing the '/'s to '\'s.

I am getting a common (apparent in the legos newsgroup) error "Error 53: Opening //./legotower1" when I try to download a program. I do successfully use firmdl3 to download the kernel even using the --tty=usb option. But when I try to download a (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

As I said before: ("LegOS Team"=Unix)=Generalization I think I'm in the same boat as you, Ed.

Joe I think proportional timeslicing would be a nice thing if the implementation would be efficient and straightforward. I don't consider my patch to be that.

What exactly needs to be done to 'upgrade' DJGPP to work with the new LegOS? Are these same changes required for cygwin? I assume the 'unix' part of this is done by the "LegOS Team", which means it works with Cygwin, but now someone (like Ed) needs (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I have found that using proportional timeslicing works great in many situations. It is more forgiving for new developers, since a "runaway" process will not block processes of lower priority.
