A startup company I'm getting involved in is in need of a multitasking kernel for one phase of a project. A bit of rummaging around in my boxes of books produced a copy of Douglas Comer's book. What, exactly, is the legal status of Xinu? Can we use it in our project at all? Is it PD, or is it licensed by company, or by copy? How about 8086-targeted development environments? (Before you flame, the 8086 is the most powerful processor that fits our [rather stringent] requirements; the only other possibilities are all 8-bit machines.) In particular, are there development requirements beyond a C compiler for the target machine? Responses by E-mail, please; I'll summarize. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC (@WB5BBW)...>splut!< | uucp: uunet!nuchat!splut!jay Never ascribe to malice that which can | or: academ!uhnix1!--^ adequately be explained by stupidity. | GEnie: JAYMAYNARD CI$: 71036,1603 The opinions herein are shared by none of my cats, much less anyone else.
