All, I've been messing with the tower API and have discovered what I think is an error in the docs... Fisrt off, the API help file tells us to open "\.\LEGOTOWERx" In fact, the file name must look like this: "\\.\LEGOTOWERx" Even worse, the filename actually only works on Win2K, WinNT, and WinXP. Win98 and WinME won't open this filename at all as they think you are looking for a UNC mapped path. Can anyone else confirm these observations? Ralph

(...) Right with \\.\...., but at least with Win98SE the port is correctly found. Great to here you Ralph. (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
