New Third-Party Programming System Integrates with Tornado RTI Announces Major New Component-Based Programming System for Building Complex Electromechanical Systems -- Already Chosen for Critical Application: Shuttle Launch Control System At Kennedy Space Center see: biz.yahoo.com excerpts: -----snip----- SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- A component-based, real-time programming system that gives teams building complex electromechanical (EM) systems far more power, capability and time-savings than has been previously available was introduced today by Real-Time Innovations, Inc. (RTI). Called ControlShell(R), Release 6.0, the system allows the creation of clean, object-oriented designs, built from tested, maintainable, high-quality software components. It combines event-driven logic and sampled-data feedback control in a fully automated visual programming system that greatly reduces design time and improved quality. After a careful evaluation process, NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center chose ControlShell 6.0 as the base software architecture for the $200 million project to redesign the Shuttle Checkout and Launch Control System (CLCS). ( See clcs.ksc.nasa.gov ) -----snip----- ControlShell is supported on Sun, SGI and Windows NT hosts. Real-Time target applications will run on Wind River Systems' VxWorks(R) and SGI's React. In addition, ControlShell is integrated with Wind River Systems Tornado(TM) development environment. ''RTI is one of Wind River's first and closest partners, and provides one of the most popular third party Tornado tools,'' according to Curt Schacker, Wind River Systems' vice president of marketing. ''RTI's new ControlShell 6.0 offers a unique and powerful toolset for complex electromechanical system development. We are pleased to have RTI's newest products integrated with the award winning Tornado development environment.'' -----snip-----

Your timing is incredible! Congratulations on your purchase of additional Wind River stock at the Dec. low of 32! At today's price of 36 1/2, you have a 14% profit in just 4 months. Keep up the good work! What do you recommend today? Here is the stock price performance of the 3 embedded systems sector stocks I recommended on Dec. 17 at Message 2987718. Company 12/17/97 Today Gain Award Software (AWRD) 8 ¬ 13 1/4 61% Electronics for Imaging (EFII) 16 23 44% Xionics (XION) 9 7 3/8 -18% ------ Average 29% As you can see, this small portfolio of embedded system stocks has performed better than Wind River. It even beats your flawless market timing! I've sold these 3 positions, but I received only a 26% gain. I'm not nearly as adept at market timing as you are, although the gain is still satisfactory even after paying short term capital gains taxes. The best embedded sector values today are Adaptec (20) and RadiSys (25). You're unlikely to go wrong with those 2 stocks. However, tech stocks are probably going down in the next few months, so the opportunities aren't as great as they were in Dec.
