i am very interested in polling the readers of this group if any of you
are users of rmx, intel's realtime os. it would probably be best if those
who are working with this particular os could get in touch with me and then i
can pass these names along to others so that we can commiserate. any takers

There are Intel iRMX users out here all right. You don't hear from
us very much because the damn thing works. Beware much discussed
OS's! :-)

Beware much discussed > OS's! :-) Actually, the reason you don't hear much from the RMX users is that they are too busy writing utilities that are provided in other environments. I've been there. In addition, RMX has this tendency to not be very compatible (at least in a networking sense) with the rest of the world, so there isn't much point in its users talking to anyone but each other :-) Seriously, though, RMX is a very solid, reliable real-time OS. One thing that can be said is that once you know where to look in the 6+ volumes of documentation, you'll find what you need. I just wish the development process wasn't so cumbersome. -- Henning Pangels Field Robotics Center ARPAnet/Internet: hmp@cive.ri.cmu.edu Robotics Institute (412) 268-6557 Carnegie-Mellon University
