Bob is right on with this suggestion - especially considering the board you are using. I just got of a project using the exact same board. We used Verdix and VxWorks as our environment ( a big help from both products). As VxWorks provides all the standard Unix/Posix stuff you would expect, and Verdix provides all the interface libraries to that Posix stuff - such problems were trivial for us. -- David Tannen (tannend@source.asset.com) TeamAda Member Christian Acronyms: B.I.B.L.E.=Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth G.R.A.C.E.=God's Redemption At Christ's Expense F.A.I.T.H.=Forsaking all, I trust Him
