Message-ID: Date: 27 Aug 90 01:22:14 GMT Sender: news@lanl.gov Organization: Center for Nonlinear Studies, Los Alamos Lines: 13 Does anyone have any experience with a real time executive called TL Executive by Talton/Louley Engineering. I just got a package from them in my mailbox. It is for PCompatibles including XTs and rather than trying to look like UNIX, it tries to look like DOS. You program in MS C, Turbo Pascal, Quick Basic, and more. Use all your regular debugging tools, etc. They claim 12,820 task switches per second on a 16Mhz AT. The more interesting claim is that it runs DOS tasks concurrently and uses DOS device drivers for talking to devices. Now since DOS programs and drivers are not designed to be interruptible, this seems hard to believe. Does anyone have any experience with this system and can comment on their experiences?
