I am a professional in the QA area and used to writing documentation as a part
of my job, and am going to take the "challenge". Thanks for the offer to host
the info.
Give me a week or so (i'm very busy with some chip-level failure analysis right
now), but should have some solid time over the 4th weekend.
I hope everyone can wait that long.... (I know for me each time I would post a
question, it seemed like an eternity for the 'next' answer-question session
pointing me back into a useful direction, even though it was only a hour or a
day). Sometimes I'm so impatient... I am very grateful for the help of those
who took the time (Kekoa, Luis, Lou,etc.)
Before I "release" such a document, I'd like somebody else who can try it out.
Anybody want to QA the QA guy?

| (...) platform. (...) Same here.. That Gavin package...that might have been the one I downloaded...but even that one had a crazy directory structure, and all the compiled EXE's had names about 16 letters long! How about something simple like GCC (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jun-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
