Hi Jenny, It sounds like you have two different versions of NQC. Make sure you get NQC 2 for both Mac and PC. Regards, Jonathan (...) (25 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Dave Baum is right (and he wrote the language, so he should know :-). The language IS the same across environments. Your problem is a version one: you apparently have the older 1.x version of the compiler on the PC: upgrade it to 2.x and all (...) (25 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Yes I am just converting programs and no the language is not the same regardless of the enviornment. On a PC wait = until on a Mac, void does not compile, and several others.

(...) I assume you want to move an NQC program (and not the compiler itself) from a Mac to a PC. If so, just copy the file. The NQC language is the same regardless of the environment it is used in (Mac, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OS/2...) Also, the (...) (25 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Are there any reference pages that show how to convert nqc from a Mac to a PC version, vice versa? Or perhaps a program that will do it? I am also having some trouble with the Lego remote. It can send messages to a RCX, but I only am able to do this (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) The op-code for sending a message is $F7 "set message". Unfortunately somehow it is left out of spirit.ocx, so you have to go down to the serial protocol in order to use it. See (URL) for the details. If you want to stick to spirit.ocx, you (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I haven't used CyberMaster myself, but I know someone was able to get it working with a Mac. CyberMaster expects DTR to be asserted and RTS to be cleared. I'm not sure if "asserted" means +9 or -9. I know data lines (TXD, RXD) are inverted, but I (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
