What, specifically, is >a QNX? It sounds like a Unix clone, but I'd like some details. QNX is a real-time UNIX-LIKE system. I have no idea about its capabilities. QNX is made (whatever) by Quantum Software Systems Ltd., Moodie Drive High Tech Park, 215 Stafford Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. K2H 9C1. You can write them there, or you can fill out a ``bingo'' card in _Byte_. Look under ``Quantum Software'' in the Reader Service. By the way, Stafford Road is in Nepean Ont, not Ottawa. I guess they want to use the name of a higher profile city in their adverts :-).
