Subject:	SCOUG-Programming: OS/2 as real-time OS ?

Content Type: text/plain

At the last Programming SIG there was a brief mention that OS/2 is not a
real-time operating system (hi Bob Blair). During the ensuing lunch,
QNX was mentioned as an example of a real-time operating system (hi
Terry Warren).

I'd be interested in using some of the next SIG meeting's time for a
discussion of what needs to be done to set up OS/2 for real-time usage.
I see this more as a round-table discussion than a presentation.

QNX is at

http://www.qnx.com/

For reference, apparently Linux is _not_ a real-time operating system:
