I'm a graduate student at Univ of Texas at San Antonio, and I'm considering this as thesis problem. My interest is instrumentation development, and I will be interfacing VXI "mainframes" to SUN workstations running SUN OS for multiprocessors. This is the equipment available to me, thus I would like to consider providing LMI Forth under Sun Unix. Please comment on the practicality. Also, please advise as to the extent LMI might provide information or other resources during the course of a project such as this. Thank You, Vincent Randal.
