Allen, just from reading miscellaneous articles available on the subject of Y2K, I am surprised to find that there may be more problems on the manufacturing side vs the financial side. I have previously assumed that Y2K is simply a problem with interest/loan/mauturity type calculations. One recent article suggested that the assembly line at GM, not to mention all the just-in-time part suppliers, may be receiving so many erroneous instructions that the system can shut down. I am really not competent enough to formulate an opinion on the fix. Wouldn't logic dictate that at least part of the solution is to replace rather than repair? If true, wouldn't that open the door for a limitless amount of state of the art embedded applications? Furthermore, if GM has problems of this nature, wouldn't just about anyone else with older automated manufacturing systems have the same problem? I guess my question is whether embedded RTOS is in a position to capture a fair share of the reported billions to be spent correcting the Y2K problem. Ramsey
