Aside from a self-promoting ad in Byte Mag., I've seen very little
discussion about the QNX operating system. I spoke to these guys
quite extensively, but I would be interested in personal experience.

Would anyone with experience in QNX and either SCO Xenix or uPort
compare them for the rest of us? Issues of interest might be: 
- Compatability with Sys V; Stability; Technical support; 
- Quality of C compiler, debugger (windows?), runtime environment;
- Hardware support (multifunction, video, disk controller boards)
- Invoking DOS as a task, and running business oriented software.
