ETS was developed by Pharlap, which was purchased by Venturcom. ETS is supported by the Aonix Ada compiler. I believe GNAT also has an ETS port. Following is an excerpt from the ETS description at www.pharlap.com. " TNT Embedded ToolSuite (ETS) is a complete embedded development environment for Intel's 32-bit x86 processors, featuring a Windows-friendly realtime operating system (RTOS), the Realtime ETS Kernel. The Realtime ETS Kernel was built from the ground up to meet the requirements of industrial-strength embedded applications. Based on a Phar Lap-defined subset of the Win32 API, the Realtime ETS Kernel provided unequaled hard realtime functionality in a Windows-friendly package." I have used this OS with the Aonix compiler. The combination works very well. For instance, the number of tasks you can create is limited only by the amount of memory on your system. Tasks and protected objects work very well. You also get direct access to the hardware, unlike the Microsoft NT systems.
