Could someone please enlighten the unenlightened (namely, me) as to
just what this ORKID standard is.  I'm fairly new to real-time systems
design, and I've never heard of this beast before.  Also, could someone
provide me with a capsule summary of what Wind River Systems' VxWorks
product is.  I'm currently writing code for the pSOS real-time 680x0
system kernel, and would like to find out a little bit about what other
real-time kernels are out there.

Thanks,
