I too am faced with possibly working with QNX. In this case the application
already exists, on a PC/AT clone.  A database on a DG Eclipse provides
order info via serial line to the AT, which controls several packing machine
via RS232 links to OPTO22 control boards at each machine.

I need to recommend the best course of action for the client to take with
this operational but undocumented timebomb.  I have no previous experience
with QNX.  I qould be interested in hearing about experiences, good or bad,
and any particular advice or warnings previous users might be able to give.

Thanks
.....rob
