I have heard about a package called SYMBIOTE from Bell Labs which is
supposedly available to Unix licensees. It runs on a front end micro of
any type and does closed_loop real-time control with a minimal scheduler
(as opposed to a full blown OS). It looks like a terminal to Unix
and supports uploading, donwloading, and database locking and other
operating system-type tasks.
I tried AT&T but nobody there seems to have heard of it; including the
Bell Labs Technical Library!
If anybody can give any info on SYMBIOTE like an author's name or AT&T/Bell
Labs contact, I'd be very grateful.
Please reply by mail. I will summarize to the net.
