Need DC software for QNX

[Chinasaur]

QNX RTOS (Real Time Operating System - http://www.qnx.com) is an alternative operating system intended as a development environment (embedded environments) rather than a desktop OS. Even so, it is a very robust, fast OS that increasing amounts of users are discovering and using (http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20011227.html). QNX is in need of ports for exisiting DC projects. All that exists seems to be the RC5 client.

I don't know the user population for QNX, but I recently heard they had passed the 1Million mark for the download of their OS package that installs into a Windows partition. 1M downloads does not equal 1M users but I would imagine there are at least as many QNX users as Be users and will most likely be more as QSSL is a profitable company.

I don't program but I can contribute to a "tip jar" if that would encourage some kind person to do a port of something. Additionally, if there are some QNX users lurking, we might write to S@H,. F@H or G@H and register interest en masse and see if they take notice.

TIA.

Is there a JVM for QNX? If so, you should be able to run Ubero on it...

Yes IBM makes one. Look here:

ROFL...

Voyager, the QNX browser, won't even display http://www.embedded.oti.com/plat/?s=1&o=QNX . Says it needs a modern browser...

I'll have to copy the file URL's to an email and then go from there.

Voyager also doesn't do PNG format so the Free-DC website has no graphics in QNX

For any QNX users....if you download Opera for QNX..it will display the Free-DC.org page as well as the referenced java page.

I have yet to test whether the java VM from the QNX repository will suffice for Ubero...if I find out..I will post.

With the help from the great QNX people at irc.qnxstart.com #QNX -

Nothing on the ubero downloads page for generic UNIX helped. I installed both the Ubero referenced JRE as well as the JRE from the QNX main repository.

It was determined that the QNX Java environment does not support Beans which Ubero appears to need -
