Is anyone familiar with the RT operating system pSOS? I'd like to hear any general feelings about it, and its related options (pROBE, pRISM, pFILE). We are running it on approximately 6 boards in an experimental robot submersible. Roger Gonzalez Marine Systems Engineering Laboratory University of New Hampshire

The performance of all of the features I've used has been more than adequate, and I have not yet encoutered any bugs (I know some exist, but Software Components Group has documented them fairly well). The kinds of multitasking features (message exchanges, signals, process priorities and process scheduling) supported by pSOS and pRISM seem quite well suited for the kind of real- time work I'm doing, and the higher-level language interface to these features (through library function calls) is convenient. I also find pROBE indispensable for debugging, and I like the fact that you can add your own commands to its interactive command-line interface (we use a variety of custom commands within our development group). I've heard something called "pSOS+" mentioned in this group; it seems to be an extended form of pSOS. Could someone please describe what this is? Thanks, David R. Kohr, M.I.T.

Hello netlanders, I would like to know if any pSOS programmers are out there. Is there even a mailing list? Please reply via mail. Thanks, Axel -- fischer@utower.gopas.sub.org / fischer@db0tui6.BITNET / fischer@tmpmbx.UUCP
