I can setup an virtual maschine with full root access for you or someone other. This server is up 24h/7days. You have to login on an linux maschine with ssh and then to the opensolaris server. Is this ok for you? Later i will setup a dedicated server at my provider with access from the internet. But i think this will be in juli/august this year. If you want, send me a pm. > As for QNX, a port to this OS would involve more work since it is less > similar to *nix than the other systems we support.

I do not know if factor is an overkill for our embedded project with QNX on an ARM-Processor (Beagle Board). First i have to port gforth. If a have the time and the need for factor on QNX, i will do the port with your help. First factor is our choice for the control program on our workstations.
