EPOS does seem to have provided a lot of good stuff for developing
real-time, event-driven, light-weight processes.

Unfortunately, we were trying to achieve the same effect with
preexisting, multi-user, time-sliced UNIX processes.

And in the case raised by the basenote, we were trying to take a small
piece of this emulation of a pure real-time system, and apply it
freely, from the outside, to programs never developed for that
environment.

The latter problem is the one I meant was "hard".
