Hi Noboru, I would never want to restrict anything that didn't harmSorry. I had come to conclusion too early. I should have read your post one more again, before writing previous mail.

differentones and see if there was a smaller set that would cover everything. Worst case, I was looking to find out what else was available and how well it was being supported. Bob
Software is always more robust when there is a larger installed base. If you are the only site with a particular OS port then if you experience an issue that no one else sees you will not have the option of working with other sites to reproduce your problem in order to find a fix.
I'm not encouraging anyone to commit this work, I would be very happy if our experience on EPICS port to micro-ITRON can help.I have no doubt that the EPICS community will benefit if you take on the port. One advantage of multiple ports may be that OS diversity does tend to uncover implementation problems. Assuming that these problems are fixed, the software should be more robust to changes introduced as it evolves in the future. Someone always has to be the first one in the pool.
