"Probably" is right! The Automated Target Handoff System in the AFTI/F-16 aircraft has a screen (head-down display), an alpha-numeric keyboard (for sending messages to the target designator on the ground), and a mouse (a cursor slew on the stick). A user interface is _not_ a determinant of "embedded." Furthermore, "Embedded" and "Real-time" have nothing to do with each other. : Marin David Condic, Senior Computer Engineer ATT: 407.796.8997 : M/S 731-93 Technet: 796.8997 : Pratt & Whitney, GESP Internet: CONDICMA@PWFL.COM : P.O.
