- Dan Hildebrand replied to my post by singing the praises of QNX. I try to
- keep an eye on the systems such as QNX. I usually think of them as
- suitable for moderately stiff mid-sized real time systems that will be
- deployed in volume on purpose built hardware or merchant boards.
- Really hard things are stuff like signal processing, fly-by-wire
- avionics, and the like. Our simulators are really easy, and who knows,
- QNX may run the I/O controllers which we buy.
-
- QNX may be faster than greased lightning but I must still design and
- achieve appropriate behavior. A specialist OS like QNX may make this a
- little easier but my skill or lack of skill will own the result.

- Perhaps some soal can tell us about pSOS, Lynx, VX-Works, DEC Elx,
- VRTX, the intel one (I don't known the TM), and the others ...
