I agree that RTAI is the successor of nothing. On the other hand we
could even be offended to be called "non conforming variant" successors
of a well packaged and advertised empty box.
So let's give to "Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar", RTAI is, and will be,
RTAI and nothing else.
With the release of new fifos it will further loose any connection to
RTL, except for compatibility calls.
So for the sake of truth, once more, RTAI is an effort tailored just on
in house internal needs avialable to anybody. It was surely born out of
the experience gathered on our variant of RTL, which added many things
RTL did not have, and still has not. It keeps the basic idea but it is a
complitely new and different implementation.
So Victor can surely take the primogeniture and we owe a lot of learning
to his work.
However my computer science collegues told me that such an idea has
forfathers that go back to Abraham and if I had to wait for Victor's
light it was because I am just a computer apprentice. A thing I can't
deny.
Ciao, Paolo.
