the format of the image files nqc generates I'll probably write
a program to upload them to the RCX

The format is described in rcxlib/rcxifile.h in the source distribution.

Thanks, I'll look at that tonight (didn't really get chance yesterday).


Assuming you have a reasonably modern C++ compiler (gcc is ideal), then
the port is rarely more complicated than creating a special subclass of
the PSerial class that works with your specific OS and hardware.

Unfortunately the versions of gcc on both my Amiga and Thinkpad (running
Mandrake 7.1) bomb when trying to compile nqc: both complain that
vector.h - in g++-2 on my LinuxPPC system - does not exist and both
complain about missing `;`s. I may have a go at sorting it out, depends
how much time I have.
