REXIS

REXIS (Real-time EXecutive for Intelligent Systems) is a small
multi-tasking preemptive real-time executive for implementing control
programs for intelligent systems such as robotics and distributed
networks. It provides functions for managing tasks, memory allocation,
message ports, timers, and event processing.

It is distributed as shareware at a low cost to hobbyists / students.
The current requirements for compiling and running REXIS is an ANSI C
HC11 cross compiler and a HC11 target with at least 24K of RAM. Other
targets are under consideration. For more information, please contact:

Robot Control C Library (RCCL)

A robot programming environment embedded in C/UNIX. A graphics
simulator is provided which supports the PUMA, Stanford, and `Elbow'
manipulators. The system can be compiled on SGIs (so the Indigo should
be fine), and the graphics runs under either X or GL. You can get the
system from RCIM for a small fee to cover copying and shipping. If you
are interested send mail to:
