Wind River Systems has informed us that future versions of the kernel supplied with their VxWorks product will conform to the ORKID standard. Can anyone supply a reference to a working draft of it? Steve Lewis Project Leader, Bevalac Controls Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory

The public version will not be available until the end of July. At that time only interested parties willing to comment on the draft will be given copies. The comments will be due in early September for the commitee's consideration. For more info, or to get the spec, contact: VITA Attn: Zulton Hunor PO Box 192, NL 5300 AD Zaltbommel, The Netherlands Tel: *.31.4180.14661, FAX: *.31.4180.15115 Sorry to make you call many miles and time zones, but the committee is insisting that only they distribute the spec, in order to control who has what version, etc. All of this is third hand info, so someone please correct in misinfo contained herein. -- Jerry Fiddler Wind River Systems jerry@wrs.COM {sun,rtech}!wrs!jerry

Could someone please enlighten the unenlightened (namely, me) as to just what this ORKID standard is. I'm fairly new to real-time systems design, and I've never heard of this beast before. Also, could someone provide me with a capsule summary of what Wind River Systems' VxWorks product is. I'm currently writing code for the pSOS real-time 680x0 system kernel, and would like to find out a little bit about what other real-time kernels are out there. Thanks, David R. Kohr, M.I.T.
