Real time?

Hi,

I've just been looking at the www.qnx.com site and playing with their demo
program. I don't know whether this is something you are aware of or whether
it may be relevant but the company claims their program QNX, is a real-time
OS suitable for machine control applications. It seems to be based on a
Unix-like OS and the demo which fits on a single floppy has a micro-kernel
of 45Kb and all the gubbins to run a web browser and server, network stuff,
html writer and has several demo web pages! It doesn't look like the full
program is out yet but it says it will be free for private use. I just
wondered if EMC could be persuaded to work with this in which case it could
probably be incorporated into very simple equipment integrated into the tool
itself.
