(...) The DJGPP tools are 32-bit. It's a limitation of the DOS shell (COMMAND.COM & CMD.EXE) that is the problem.

It appears that you can specify a com port other than the default COM1 for the firmdl3.exe and dll.exe programs for the Windows LegOS distribution package. Does anyone know what the syntax might be? I use COM4 for my IR Tower. Thanks, Dave (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
