Sorry I should have explained better what I meant. The above link was to a
company
with a embeddable realtime Corba small enough to fit into a PalmPilot.

A link to an open source version of Corba with Palm functionality is:
<http://www.vsb.cs.uni-frankfurt.de/~mico/pilot/index.html>

library>


And yes I agree that runtimes cost are a problem.

Take care
Anders
