// 99 bottles of beer on the wall
// NQC version 0.1.0
// by Santiago Pereson <yaco@yaco.net>, Buenos Aires, Argentina
//
// NQC stands for 'Not Quite C', and is a programming language
// developed by Dave Baum <dfb@baumfamily.org> for the Lego
// Mindstorm series of programable bricks. more info at
// http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nqc/
//
// note: since the bricks can't 'print' anything, this program
//       just outputs the song as bytes via the IR transmitter.
