I'm a devoted embedded systems creature, I've made a living at it for a number of years. The comp.realtime appears to have a slant towards some particular equipment, perhaps to the detriment of the group itself. I think that we (embedded system people) can fit very nicely into that group and maybe ventilate it a bit for the overall benefit. I'll concede that real time systems aren't always embedded, but every embedded system I've worked with was real time. I don't see enough difference to separate the two groups. -- Bill Kennedy {texbell,att,cs.utexas.edu,sun!daver}!ssbn!bill bill@ssbn.WLK.COM or attmail!ssbn!bill
