Interacting with NXT under linux.

Hi,

Some time ago I wrote a program that allows to communicate with a NXT brick under Linux using a Bluetooth link. With this program you can upload and download programs run them and other stuff. You can find more info and get the
source at <http://www.scienzaludica.it/index.php?page=88>

The program is called "nxtrc" (NXT Remote Command) and I want to inform you that a new version 2.3 is available with some changes and a lot of bug fixes.

Now, thanks to the efforts of Damian Wrobel the program has a proper "configure" and "Makefile" and has been accepted in the Fedora Repository, and you can just do a "yum install nxtrc" under Fedora 12 and 13.

Ciao,
GiP

I didn't know that Nexttool runs on Linux, but if it does I'd say the difference is that my program is less powerful and more limited in scope.
