You can't...  Sorry.  It is currently only available for SUN SPARC.  And then
by request.

Yes.  7000 units = 700 m.

: This one doesn't work ....  Did you forget some braces?

Should work...

: compatible to CROBOTS?

If you write code for CROBOTS, C++ROBOTS should be able to process it if...
You use ANSI C.
You fully implement or prototype functions before use.
Make global variables, "static"
Change scale.  A range of 700 in CROBOTS = range 7000 in C++ROBOTS.
