I just searched the subject line of some 28000 messages here - and did not find anyone looking into Real Time(RT)kernels. I remember many years ago using an RT kernel for some audio programs - didn't appear to make any difference - likely everything has just gotten that much faster. If anyone has worked with this - please let me know if you found any differences. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Schmidt EMail Karl@xtronics.com Transtronics, Inc.
