SetWatch() added to rcx.nqh. Toggle() added to rcx.nqh (function reverses direction of motors) Under Windows, stdout is used instead of stderr when reporting status and command usage information. Effective address restrictors for asm statements were added - this allows a function like Sleep() to auto-generate a temporary when required. DTR/RTS return codes ignored - allows use of CyberMaster mode on a Mac. Changed SMODE_CELCIUS to SMODE_CELSIUS in rcx.nqh (sorry, I can't spell). Bug with returns from inline functions was fixed. Bug in reporting wrong number of args in conditionally ignored macros was fixed.

Emphasis on "preliminary". It is enough to do some basic NQC stuff on the Scout, but most of the nifty Scout features haven't been integrated into NQC yet. Also, it will still let you use RCX-only commands even when you're targeting the Scout. Dave Baum -- reply to: dbaum at enteract dot com
