You're obviously coming at things from an entirely different direction than I was thinking. I don't see how an operating system would have ANY bearing on the C vs Harvard architecture issues that most of us seem to be talking about. I've always found that C *is* pretty OS-independent. Of course, there seem to be an increasing number of people who want to equate C with posix - are you one of those? (darn tag keep dissappearing. Perhaps at Olin's... We did decide on "EE", right?)
