Great!

BTW, there are some minor flaws in dll[x], that might confuse one
(especially in FAST mode):

- if the ACK for the very last data packet sent to the RCX gets lost,
the PC will report failure although the upload was successfull.

This has always been a problem- it was an issue with firmdl before dll.
Nothing serious, so it was never fixed.

- if upload fails because RCX memory is exhausted, the PC will not
report this, it will just time out and report failure.

You've actually had programs that large? Wow.
