Preliminary NQC support for RCX 2.0 is now available in NQC version
2.2a1.  Its in the beta test area of the NQC site:

Linux build / RPMs available from <http://nqc.mattdm.org/>.
I haven't updated the man page yet but will work on that soon.

Excellent work!
With this release the firmware download finally works for me without errors
:-)

Q: would it be worthwhile to construct the alpha (and even beta?) RPMs such
that they can coexist on the same machine with the stable release? The
package would be named something like "nqc-alpha", and I'd change the name
of the executable too.

It might be nice indeed, but with installing NQC 2.2 final it would have be
able to delete both 2.1r2 and 2.2a (not sure if that's possible, I only use
RPM's :-) so that no old junk is left behind...

(...) There is an "obsoletes" tag I could set on the final release. (So nqc final obsoletes nqc-alpha and nqc-beta.) But I need to check that it works with versions -- I wouldn't want nqc final 2.2 to obsolete nqc-alpha 2.3. (25 years ago, 6-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
