I downloaded the Salvo User manual the other day and found the RTOS
fundamentals and examples an excellent starting point. The rest of the
manual appears as well written.I also downloaded Salvo light (but have not
played with it yet).

I can see how a RTOS could have made several of my previous projects better
than "superloop" technology.

I have the feeling that moving to the RTOS approach where applicable will be
like the move I am currently making from assembler to C, in my context I
feel the result will be that my productivity will grow significantly. Just
my opinion.
