That product shows real promise EC. Maybe should refer that to the FBN 2000 and Beyond Committee. After this Millennium craze passes there will be a little slack time waiting until the next wave of interest revives for solutions in 2038. But operating systems are forever. Of course the ISO 9000 Quality Committee will need to review the source code again to insure compliance with FBN's stated goal of Aggressively Impacting America's Productivity.

E. Charters: Welcome to our thread. I've been on vacation for over a week. I regret that I wasn't here to respond to your challenges to the technical viability of our product set. I am pleased, however, to see that you have decided that FBNA truly has something that no other company offers. As to your suggested Reduced Instruction Set Kernel (appropriately acronymed "RISK") ... For those of you who may have forgotten ... "E" suggested the following main procedure [ main () ], to which 3rd party vendors could add functionality ... FBNA's consulting attorneys, Huntem and Beatum, have advised me that you are infringing on our copyright. Our code reduction tool, FBN-Nothingator, has already produced the code snippet you provide as an example. We used FBN-Nothingator on some existing operating system kernels to delete all code that was not necessary. Since none of that code was necessary to us, the tool deleted everything ... thus leaving just the "main ()" statement. Consider this notice as a "Cease and Desist" order. Continued references to said code snippet could result in legal action against you, your associates, your family, your dog, and any companies in which you own stock. Have a truly pleasant day, TEDennis, CEO (retired) FBN Associates Aggressively Impacting America's Productivity
