I've tested your RcxCC version, and it works great with RCX2 (AFAIK).
(ah, and still works simultaneously with CyberMaster too, eheh)
That reminds me, one very useful thing for people working with various
pBricks simultaneously (like myself), would be the use of configuration
(ASCII) file support, so it could remember settings by pBrick (or by any
other reason).
Then, I could use something like: RcxCC.EXE RCX2.CFG and/or RcxCC.EXE
Cybermaster.CFG and it would try to use those settings (COM port, windows
state, size and position, user source code directory, etc...)
...and yes, I find your planned "Syntax highlighting" alterations you
mention very useful (and getting a working version of the Undo/Redo
feature).
If Tamotsu Kamigaki could release his source code, then you (or someone)
could add the USB IR support to RcxCC (becoming a sort of a Mark
Overmars/Tamotsu Kamigaki/John Hansen joint RcxCC Version) becoming ready
for RIS 2.0 release. (Not critical for me, 'cause I use a RIS 1.0 + RCX2
firmware)
I only wished NQC 2.2x still listed the "Variable name = number" head list,
in the window the shows the source code produced by NQC (can't remember the
name of that window, sorry).
But that's one question I have to ask to Dave Baum.
