A recent issue of PC Tech Journal mentioned that Intel's iRMX is available
for the PC family for $$$.

iRMX may be the kinf of OS you're looking for.  Prioritized tasks with
shared memory, regions, semaphores, &c.  The article gives an overview.

RMX is extensively documented, in poorly organized manuals.

Native language is PL/M, compiler produces good code.  C is also available.

Next time you're in town you can take a look at our manuals.

						Howdy!
