I am not sure what you mean by "weak tries at adding RT extensions to *ix
systems", but my employer sells a real-time, Unix-like operating system.
We even have some competition (whose names I won't mention so I don't
advertize them ;-).  It is not a "weak try".

And, since this is comp.sys.unisys, I will mention that I can run it on
my Unisys PW2 850.
