I forgot to mention that all of my tools run on Linux and Mac OS X in one form or another. You can download the NeXTTools for Mac OS X or Linux or the NxtCC version of that utility for Mac OS X or Linux on the BricxCC utilities page. The NxtCC version includes a simple code editor with integrated compiler support, though it is a fairly rough first version with its share of flaws at this point.

Thanks for the info on Bricx CC. I think I'll give it a try.

Let me see if I understand this correctly first. Bricx CC is an IDE that supports various programming languages and their related NXT firmware. Is this correct? I remember downloading a version of Bricx CC two or three years ago and I couldn't make much of it, but that could have been a lack of understanding on my part.

Also, is NeXTTools sort of the Mac version of BricxCC?... I'll have to check your website and do some reading I suppose.

Finally, the main question, I suppose, of this post is this: Is there any way to port code from one environment to another (i.e. RobotC to NXC)? My guess is no, but before I go off recoding things (which is probably a good idea at this point anyway) I just want to make sure.

Thanks!

very quick and simple answer based on your special requirements:

BCC for NXT ist most of all made to work with NXC or NBC. as both RobotC and NXC are not compliant to ANSI C standard you will make your code transcription laboriously manually by yourself.
