I would like to know if there are any documentary stories about Forth's     
application for Industrial controls, such as to open/close control valves  
and other actuators based on input data from sensors, in real-time for process
control.

Comparision of C versus Forth for above types of applications. 

Since Forth is it's own operating system, how does it compare with other
commercial real-time operating systems.

Any comments and pointers to sources relevant to computerised process control
will be greatly appreciated, since this is part of my Master's degree in EE
thesis. 

Lastly, what would be a good chip, DSP's  compared to  '386 or others in general
for these applications.

Thanks and Regards,

Raju
