They are. We have to be scheduled reliably with minimal jitter at 240Hz, I
believe. The point wasn't that I'm looking for a RTOS, though. We are way past
that point. We are almost past the point where we can change compilers. I was
just wondering who else has tried to build a large system using Green Hills
AdaMulti, and  how they dealt with the tools.

With their tools, there seems to be no way to create scripts to "register" a
new system with the library. It has to be done *manualy* with the GUI, or by
reverse-engineering their build files and using external tools (like TCL).
The only reasonable solution I can see is to create hierarchal levels of
build files and maintain them in the revision system with the source code.
That makes it the developer's responsibility to maintain the build files.

Of course these files have to be created the first time. That means I have to
sit down with the mouse and make 42 of these files containing all 371 units.
Carpel-tunnel here I come!
