[En-Nut-Discussion] Realtime Nut/OS

this is quite funny. It was me, who asked years ago for a preemptive
scheduling :-) Your answer was "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" :-)

Ok, so let's start the discussion again. Btw: My first thought was:
preemptive and cooperative multitasking in one OS might not work, but of
course it will... So the cooperative multitasking will just be one
RTTHREAD. But I would not call it RTTHREAD, because preemptive
multitasking does not make a realtime system too, but we should call it
P_THREAD and C_THREAD (with #define THREAD C_THREAD)

I'd wish I'd had lunch tooo... any pizza service around here?

Bye,

Ole
