Well, I guess I am one of the two :) Its nice to know I am on the cutting
edge of things. Actually I am probably one of the few BrickOS users that is
too dumb or impatient to deal with cygwin or unix.

Seems fine to me. I think all we need is a well laid out set of instructions
for installing BrickOS and getting it to work with BrickCC. I did it by
scouring the information from this newsgroup, but it was kind of scattered.

I find the compiler warnings to be very helpful. They often tell me exactly
what my dumb mistake was.

Nope. I'm not even sure how it works. Is that like writing your own header
files or something?

I have seen it, but haven't tried it yet.

Well, I will say it again that I think BricxCC is an amazing program. I
loved using it with NQC, and now it makes BrickOS much less painful to use
:) You have done a great job at maintaining the program and continually
adding new features. I guess when BricxCC gets more tightly integated with
BrickOS, then all that would be required is documentation in the help file.
I suppose this is no small task though :(

| So far I have heard from two people who have successfully used brickOS with BricxCC. I'm interested in whether anyone else has tried using BricxCC to edit/compile/download programs to brickOS. Currently BricxCC requires that the cygwin bin directory (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
