[comp.unix.questions] Unix in real-time

KKEYTE@ESOC.BITNET (Karl Keyte) (02/05/91)

I am looking for references relating to the use of Unix in a
real-time or near real-time environment.  Has anyone any
suggestions?

You'd want to get info on a port of Unix known as QNX.  It's written
from the bottom up as a real-time (or close to) O/S.  Folks I know
writing EFT/POS transaction handling software are using it to get
their response times consistent.
