I should have expected you to make this kind of comment. :-) As an example and an exercise for the reader - can you find the configuration pragma that is necessary with GNAT on Linux to get real time priorities. In our case, it took a search through the documentation, then the source code, and then a message to ACT to confirm that what we read was actually correct. It also didn't help that you can't dig the real time priority out of Linux w/o a patched (or extremely recent) kernel. --Mark
