| | NQC floating point library?

I have a need to do floating point math in the RCX, but NQC only seems to natively support integers. Is there a floating point library for NQC? Jim (25 years ago, 15-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

The next version of RCX Command Center (expect a beta at the beginning of the comming week) will contain a command to translate from NQC 1.x to NQC 2.0. It is not completely fool-proof but seems to work in almost all cases. Mark Overmars (25 years ago, 13-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
