only deliver support for VxWorks for our customers because of the huge costs

a yearly fee, in return we will assist setting up things, building ACE/TAO and
running the tests. Any VxWorks specific issue in ACE/TAO will then be fixed
without additional charge, any generic issues or project specific issues are not
part of the standard fee. Contact me directly to discuss the details, we can
