LegOS is an operation system ( a firmware replacement in itself)
It's like a mini UNIX system, that will run true C compiled programs on RCX.
NQC on the other hand, all it does is translate a NQC program into LEGO
pCode that will be *interpreted* by RCX's standard firmware (you could call
it "compile" but not in the same way as traditional compilation is
understood)
So, NQC deals with generating pseudo-compiled programs to be run
(interpreted) on LEGO standard firmware using the same pCodes all LEGO
software uses to command the RCX.
LegOS is an OS that runs true compiled into machine-code and it's
incompatible (doesn't understand nor tries to interpret) with standard LEGO
firmware.
I don't know if there would be enough RAM to make a "standard pCode"
interpreter emulator, running under LegOS, but would be a nice idea for
people that would like to use LegOS power but now and then need to run some
standard firmware programs ;)

| Hi everybody, I'm starting to use Lego products and I'm having problems to undrestand a few things. For example, I want to use NQC and I don't understand why the LegOS needs a C cross-compiler... or by having LegOS I don't need NQC? -- Paula Berger (...)
