Distribution and maintenance of RTEMS was transferred to OAR by theArmy.  OAR
developed RTEMS for the Army.  OAR is in the process of
finishing up a new RTEMS site.  4.0 will be released via this site.

GNAT/RTEMS is the supported Ada95 solution.  This supports Ada taskingusing
RTEMS.  GNAT/RTEMS has been validated on one embedded platform
(SPARC) and is "validatable" on a number of others including the
PowerPC

RTEMS is GPL'ed with the same exception as the GNU Ada Run-Time.  4.0will be
made publicly available once the distribution site is in place.
Right now, it is mainly available to support customers.

If you are interested in using GNAT/RTEMS on a project, please
contact sales@gnat.com.
