What exactly are you trying to do? Run Windows NT on a : missile navigation system? ;-) Seriously, a little more info on : what you're trying to do might help suggest a solution. Actually, there's a lot of COTS being used in embedded systems these days; it's just that "embedded" means more than those weaselly little processors used in avionics like ICNIA (or like I still use today :). For example, C3I workstations are often called "embedded" systems since they are part of a larger system. Many of these environments use extensive COTS databases, display managers, etc. BTW, even the Ada version of ICNIA uses a custom OS, although things have improved somewhat since the JOVIAL days... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Garlington GarlingtonKE@lfwc.lockheed.com F-22 Computer Resources Lockheed Fort Worth Co.
