Yes, of course every separate software product is a separate port. For example, the VMS version for VMS 7.1 and 7.2 is a separate port, at the very least, it needs full QA testing on the new version of the operating system. I am not sure what you mean by a VxWorks port for a PC clone, that's a rather odd designation, makes me think that T.E.D. has not actually worked with VxWorks at all. A more reasonable query would be a port for some particular x86 board, and indeed this is certainly possible. T.E.D. if you are interested in such a product, let us know, and we will be happy to give you a quote. My list certainly did not include all the GNAT ports for VxWorks that we *can* provide, just the ones that we have provided so far. Most certainly embedded applications using VxWorks tend to require more customization than off the shelf native ports. No question about that! We certainly expect to have to provide more specialized support during the installation process for example, which is why we charge more for GNATWorks (the designation for ports of GNAT Professional for VxWorks) than for native ports.
