Dave Can you setup NQC to automatically ignore things a pbrink doesn't understand? For example The scout. I have a program that I use in my 2 RCX's and my 1 scout. But Constantly have to /* */ the offending code for the scout. Is there some way we (...) (24 years ago, 8-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
