For our robotics control experiments, we are considering to
use the VME exec real time operating system. We will
appreciate any information concerning the following:

	- What are weak points of VME exec, and how can we live with them.
	- What are the hardware interfacing experiences ?
	- How convenient can applications be developed on, and downloaded
	  from non-Motorola machines (e.g. Suns) ?
	- What are the experiences with the default compiler v.s. other
	  (e.g. GCC) compilers ?
	- Is there a bug list for the compiler and libraries ?
	- Are sources available for the run-time libraries ?

Please respond by email.  If the number of responses allow it, I'll
post a summary.


Thanks,
