I wouldn't think anyone would want to use VP/ix for any kind of REAL
TIME processing.  It is a real performance dog, at least on a 25mhz
machine.  It definitely couldn't be counted on to perform real-time
performance.    Of course I may have mis-interpreted your need
for "real time" here;  maybe you mean just having someone type
in numbers "as they're available" or something?
