Several third party vendors offer BBS's to support their QNX products such as
Computer Innovations, On-Line Data, Fastech Integration, BJ Software, and
others.  However, I don't know about any other sites that offer non-product
type of BBS.

ZOO and ARC run under QNX, and many U**X utilities have been ported -- 
such as more, MicroEmacs, and others. All are available for download from
the BB.

Quantum just released their new POSIX-compliant OS called QNX 4.0
Actually, it is a complete UNIX OS, that offers blazing real-time speed,
high-performance file system, and features a microkernel architecture.
It has retained its message-passing structure, so it still has transparent
networking, and easy intertask communications.  Interrupt latency and
context switching times beat anything I've seen for a full-featured UNIX.

The usual UNIX utilities -- lex, make, sed, sh, sort, tar, yacc --
are included with the package.

BTW, we have organized a local QNX User's Group (Now the members are mostly
Kodakers, but the public is welcome)  Contact me for more information.
