As I understand it, there might be IBM-internal politics involved in freeing up RT code. Even though we all know BSD/RT is *no* competition for the RS/6000 product, there may be people at IBM who feel otherwise. Someone at IBM is supposed to have been working on getting them to free up their code, but I haven't heard of any movement in the area. If it happens, and gcc2 for the RT becomes available, it is almost certain to find its way into the UCB CSRG BSD releases. This is also the only practical way to distribute post-AOS 4bsd work, since noone is going to want to check AT&T licenses if they aren't already set up to do it. rayan
