Getty also responds toso it's worth a try. By the way, how do you like VENIX on the PRO? Have you tried using any of its "real-time" features? I have a PRO-350 running the P/OS Toolkit (an RSX port), because I need real-time capabilities in my home psychoacoustics lab, but I've been considering going to VENIX. I've used it in "standard UNIX" mode, and although slow it seems reasonable. But I've got no feedback on the real-time features like preemptive process priorities, 1/60 second sleep increments, and asynchronous I/O. Any impressions would be interesting. I'd also like to know where to get it for less than $1K! Steve Frysinger *** We don't need to know the answers to hope and pray for peace. -- Renaissance
