Hello again.

I am still on a mission to find all the real time operating
systems available on the market which aren't fly by night operations.

Here is a list I've found so far:

Ready Systems -- VRTX, FMX, and IOX
Wind River Systems -- VxWorks
Microware Systems -- OS-9, OS-9000
Software Components Group -- pSOS, pHile

There is a smattering of tiny little companies who make systems
for around $1000 who advertise in the very back of Embedded Systems.
I hesitate to include them here as I believe you get what you pay
for, and for $1000, I'm afraid you wouldn't get much.
Some examples are:

Micro Digital -- SMX  "simple multitasking executive"  
Byte-Bos -- The Bos
U.S. Software-- USX

If anyone out there has used any of these with success, please let
the net know.  I'd hate to bad mouth a company with a good product.

I read an article on operating systems in Embedded Systems Magazine,
December 89 issue.  The author mentioned another system called
MTOS.  But he failed to mention the corporation who makes it.
Does anyone out there in net land know who makes MTOS?
Sounds like it may be a major player out there.

If anyone wants the phone numbers or addresses of these companies,
send me mail and I'll respond.

Thanks in advance for information on MTOS.
