pRISM went away probably because INTS bought Take Five, which is an integrated environment company. takefive.com Also, pRISM was originally based on Greenhills 'Multi' environment. Since Greenhills was also the supplier of INTS PowerPC compilers, and Diab makes 68K,PowerPC,Coldfire compilers, things probably soured a bit. I also doubt it is WIND selling the Diab Compiler, although it is possible. (Unless things have changed recently, none of the small RTOS companies resold Diab. Not to imply that WIND is small, but they have never SOLD tools in the past.) My experience was that a $5000 Diab compiler was a little hard for WIND's customer's to swallow since they were used to getting the GNU compilers for free. INTS bought DIAB because of the poor quality of Greenhills products and the control it gave them over the competitors. To a company, Diab was the default PowerPC compiler company for the small RTOS vendors. Mark
