I guess it's time to say "Thank you!". You did really much. You spent tremendous effort in developing NQC and I think everybody appreciates it. We owe you a lot. Thank you once again Robert (21 years ago, 11-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

NQC version 2.5r3 has been released: (URL) is my last release of NQC. John Hansen will be maintaining NQC in the future.

A lot of this is untested and very rough. For some reason I still can't get the Spybot to send out RC messages to a Manas unit. Sending an RCX message (opcode 0xF7) is quite simple - either using the ROM subroutine SendRCXMessage or by using the (...)
