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 recently received The Unofficial Guide to LEGO® MINDSTORMS™ Robots
By Jonathan B. Knudsen. When I downloaded the programs off the internet to
use with the book, they would not compile. I had to change a lot of the code
and the program then would not work with the robot. I was hoping someone knew
of a conversion page so I would not have to make an entirly new program.
I also no long need help with the lego remote.
Any help that you offer is greatly appreciated.
thanks
Jenny

| (...) The problems you are seeing are differences between version 1.x and 2.x of the NQC language (not Mac/PC differences). Here are a few differences between 1.x and 2.x.
