Re: TRON for AdaOS

[Marin David Condic <nobody@noplace.com>]

Would you happen to have any links or textbook references?

I like the idea of an Ada RTOS - although others have been built. (Might 
be better to start from something like RTEMS & build on it?) There are 
also various realtime Linux implementations one might learn from. At 
least one implementation I have heard of runs a single realtime process 
and then coughs up any leftover CPU time to run the rest of Linux. I 
hear it works pretty well and provides a basis for an OS that does 
something Windows doesn't do. You've got to think of why anyone would 
want an Ada OS besides the fact that it is implemented in Ada.
