The Wescon show coming up has a whole session devoted to
realtime process-control applications based on Unix.  Before
you make a big mistake, go hear that.  After all, how many machines
besides Vaxes will VMS ever run on???? You can get 68K machines
right now that are generally equal to the 750 in performance for
1/5th the price.  The gap will only widen.

PS - you might talk to Roger Vossler down at TRW.  They are going
Unix in a big way (not exclusively, but the do avionics too).
