Ken,

First of all,  a hearty thanks for the job you have done in keeping the wheels
turning for so long.  Our group will miss your work, and will fully support your
successor(s).

I have a plea for guidance.  The field of processors for AI is moving so fast
that this may be the best place for on-line references.  We are looking for
a processor with demonstrated capability in the following areas:

1. Proven hardware with power, weight etc. which would not prevent it from 
being flown.

2. Language support - preferably Ada, but will accept C as the baseline
language.

3. Multi-tasking executive.

4. Architecture suited to hosting some type of Expert System tools with
access back to the Ada/C environment.
