Message-ID: <1991Feb11.232238.1987@grebyn.com> Date: 11 Feb 91 23:22:38 GMT Organization: Grebyn Timesharing Lines: 10 Apparently, System V Release 4 has a (quote) "real-time" process scheduling class. Can someone describe what this really accomplishes, since I doubt it really means real-time (as in predictable worst-case delay between an external event and task execution)? And, has Amiga Unix X11 perhaps been tweaked to take advantage of this? -- First comes the logo: C H E C K P O I N T T E C H N O L O G I E S / / \\ / / Then, the disclaimer: All expressed opinions are, indeed, opinions. \ / o Now for the witty part: I'm pink, therefore, I'm spam! \/
