The software is marketed by Lego Limited in WREXHAM, Wales.  A good
place for general enquiries about it is probably NCET (National centre
for educational technology) at the Science Park, The University of
Warwick, COVENTRY, England. 

The motors are marketed under the name `Lego-Technic' -- most toy shops
have them. 

You don't have to write any systems software yourself provided you are
using Leg's choice of computer: probably RM Nimbus and the >>vomit<<
BBC-B Micro.
