[RTTY] UPDATE Re: FSK Keying

[Al Kozakiewicz]

Depends on the configuration of Unix. Modern Windows. i.e. everything since NT, uses a priority ordered event driven kernel, with equal priority processes scheduled in a round robin fashion (think timesharing). I believe the same is what is currently in favor for most of the commonly used Unix kernels.  However, a LOT of the RTOS are based on Unix kernels, 99% of them most people have never heard of. Usually found in specialty devices that use embedded systems.

I would consider DOS as close to a real time system, much like RT-11 was 40 years ago.  The operating system can be used to essentially just bootstrap the application and then the application can do whatever it wants without ever returning control to the OS. Windows CE, now much out of favor, is an RTOS, but not an especially useful one for general purpose computing if you ask me.

A very interesting discussion, but so far only Windows has been mentioned.  Does anyone know if Linux or Mac or DOS for that matter, has the same problem?
