However, we are having difficulty in finding a development environment that will suit our needs. Below are some requirements for our selection. I would appreciate any feedback (experiences, comments, technical details, etc.) concerning compiler selection from others who have performed similar projects. A non-GNAT solution is preferred to avoid any potential restrictions/requirements associated with the commercial release of software containing GNU libraries. Target: 486 Embedded PC, MSDOS based - primarily to support PCMCIA card flash file systems for the purpose of data logging. Development platform: Multitasking - concurrent processing of serial I/O with up to 6 devices using complex protocol incorporating handshaking with precise time-out requirements. Supports interrupt handlers for I/O 1 (one) ms timer resolution - as opposed to standard PC timer of 55 ms. Anxiously awaiting, Rick -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Richard A.
