Luis,
Kernel seems to Make just fine as do .dll modules. All my programs are
running pretty much like before, except as noted below:
Scaled sensor inputs like LIGHT_2 seem to be more stable and reasonably
ranged than in previous versions. Wonder what's changed.
Powers off after idle for 15 minutes as advertised.
Rotation sensors work just fine.
Multitasking working just fine.
Still getting the occasional "Can't Erase Program" error that recovers
by turning the RCX on and off. Seems more stable than previous versions
as this takes care of the problem whereas before it would occasionally
crash the whole Kernel and you have to cold boot/load the Kernel again.
All seems well, will play with it more.
Dave

| There is no 0.2.5 as of yet- there may be within a couple of weeks. There really aren't many substantial changes (mainly C++, two very, very small bugfixes.) If you are interested in testing what is in CVS right now I've posted a tarball here: (URL) (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
