Has anyone tried to use Wine with realtime Linux? I am considering porting a system which currently runs under "realtime" NT to RT-Linux. The non-realtime portion is a GUI front end written with Borland C++ Builder, and I would prefer not to have to rewrite it. Is it feasible to run Linux as a low priority task under RT-Linux and to then run the windows app with Wine? Would the Wine app be able to communicate with the low level RT stuff? Any info or suggestions much appreciated. TIA -- Bob Stephens |"Just machines that make big 73714.237@compuserve.com |decisions. Programmed by fellas |with compassion and vision". | - D. Fagen

If you want to use a local protocol, you will probably have to write a Linux library and call it from Wine. Gerard
