Hi,

	Sorry for the wide distribution, but it is very hard to find
software for platforms other than Dos/Win/Mac and none of the used
or discount software vendors carry what I am looking for.

	I am working on a project as a hobby, not for profit, which
involves real-time A/D and digital input from automotive sensors
(oxygen level, oil pres/temp, cyl head temp, throttle position, etc.)
which will be analyzed and displayed (also in real-time), and intend
to later add on D/A output to stepper motors/solenoids to operate
things such as throttle/brakes etc.

	Because I am doing this as a prject on my own time, and don't
have any funding, my resources are limited and I can't afford to just
go out and pay retail for copies of QNX, the photon uGUI, the
development kit, etc. etc. The hardware I will be using won;t cost more
that $1500 or so at first, which would put the cost of the software
at 3 to 4 times the cost of the hardware, way more than I can afford.

	I have looked at using Linux/RT but the time slice size is
still too big for me to be comfortable with it, and it would require
more expensive hardware to perform well.

	So if you have an extra copy of the various QNX software
components you can part with for a reasonable cost, (or if you want
to fund me :-) ) I would love to hear from you...

	Marisa
