Regarding the 'multitasking-war' that just calmed down I think it's
time to put the whole thing on the feet again. David Beckemeyer asks
about our opinions concerning a PD-RTX and the problem with the loss
of profits out of the product. I say: don't give it away for free.
Take a closer look: people who *really* have to use a multitasking
kernel (like me) can easily afford a few bucks (look at the ads to see
that it's really a bargain) because they are usually making money out
of it. And people who are *really* interested in such systems and want
to know how to use them could spent the money as easily. So it's not
a problem of money at all.

But that's not the main point. What do those people working with
multitasking, communicating, interrupt-driven processes need most?
Obviously they need support. Just around these days I had some
problems with RTX and asked David. Although the docs say that he
doesn't have the time to give such a moderatly priced product
extensive support, he answered instantly and gave all the re-
quested information.
I herewith vote for a well behaved, carefully documented,
regularely updated, adequately supported and decently priced product.

- Klaus.
