Sample Code for RTKernel-C and RTKernel-Pascal

RTKernel is shipped with many example programs demonstrating just about every RTKernel feature. The code samples below show how common tasks can be implemented. These code samples may be used by registered RTKernel users.

Filename	Comments
rtkoop-c.zip	This collection of C++ classes and templates can be used as an alternative, object-oriented interface for RTKernel-C. It includes classes for tasks, semaphores, screen windows, COM ports and templates for mailboxes, memory pools, and IPX channels. Full source code, documentation, and 3 example programs are included. RTKOOP requires a C++ compiler supporting classes and templates and RTKernel-C 4.5. To install, unzip the archive file in an empty directory.
RTKOOP.PAS	Unit RTKOOP can be used as an alternative, object-oriented interface with RTKernel-Pascal. RTKOOP defines object types for tasks, semaphores, and MemoryPools. Full source code, documentation, and an example program are included. RTKOOP requires Turbo/Borland Pascal 6.0 or higher and RTKernel-Pascal 4.5.
exceptio.zip	Turbo/Borland Pascal unit for Ada- or C++-like exception handling. This unit can raise and handle run-time errors as well as user-defined exceptions. Supports display of source code positions, error recovery, etc. Runs in real and protected mode, with or without RTKernel-Pascal. This .zip archive contains complete source code, examples, and documentation. To install, unzip the archive file in an empty directory.
READMANY.PAS	Pascal unit to implement "read many, write exclusive" mutual exclusion. This unit implements a guard semaphore which allows the concurrent access of an unlimited number of readers, but only one writer to a resource. Written for RTKernel-Pascal 4.0 or higher, easily adapted for RTKernel-C.
