QNX, Useful applications

All, regarding QNX, there must be a reasonable user base out there. The QNX on x86 guys have cranked more on the Distributed.net RC5-72 project than the NeXTSTEP/x86 crowd, and are still active. I also note the existence of a QNX on ARM client, which implies QNX ran on some ARM platform as well. Palm? To tie in a different thread, regarding "practical" applications for vintage computers, Distributed.net seems like a natural. It's not exactly Earth-shaking science at the moment, but it's a big problem that breaks naturally down into a lot of very small pieces, so it's something classic systems can actually practically contribute to. I would *love* to see a VMS/VAX client, and to my knowledge there are several VAXen on the net now doing not so much at any given moment. Do any of you VMS gurus have time and inclination to combine the VMS/Alpha and the NetBSD/VAX clients and let us put VMS/VAX on the charts? And of course, I don't know *why* no-one has put the MacOS 6-9 client back active. I actually have a copy of CodeWarrior, so let me know if you have time, ability, and inclination, but lack of CodeWarrior. We can work out a loan. Personally, I have inclination and CodeWarrior, but neither (really) time nor ability, though I'm trying to work on it. I don't suppose an 8-bit client is practical - I've never heard of a C++ compiler to 8-bit target - but it would be really cool to crack a block of keys on my Rainbow under CP/M-80. Sigh. Does anybody have any positive/negative experience with distributed.net that I should know about? http://www.distributed.net/ for more info. Hit "statistics", pick a project, and look for "mtapley at swri.edu" to see my meager contributions so far, or go straight to http://www.distributed.net/source/ to grab the public part of the source. -- - Mark NEW CELL PHONE NUMBER: 210-379-4635 2-way pager until end of March 2006: 888-733-0967 office is still: 210-522-6025
