[net.micro] Wanted: Info on SYMBIOTE

george@mnetor.UUCP (George Hart) (04/09/85)

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.
