Thanks Steve!  I usually unsubscribe before I go on trips, but this last one
was only supposed to be for a few days.

Naturally, it lasted two weeks instead.  Figures :-)

Has anyone ported GNU C++ for the 68000 to PC ? Or where can I get the source
code for GNU C.
I have no acces to ftp.
Any hints would be very apreciated !
bye + thanks

Industrial.  I work for a medical company that makes automated blood testers.
The product is based on a 386 running OS-9000.  There is supposed to be a
Pipelies (Freudian slip?) article coming out on our app one of these days.  The
big beef about OS-9000 seems to be the cost.  For us that was not a big issue
because the box it controls is two orders of magnitude more $$$ than the OS.
The bigger issues for us were vendor support, functionality and performance
over the other contenders, the main one at the time being QNX.  Pick your
poison...

I am not familiar with performance comparisons of OS9K as opposed to QNX.

As far as support goes, were you disappointed with Microware's support?

I just wonder from time-to-time about the viability of the OS.  Microware's
support is
directly proportional to current & expected sales...
