Hi Jose,

   Thanks for using the PRF.

>     ACE VERSION: 5.5 and 5.5.8
> 
>     HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
>         AMD 64 3500  Suse Linux 10.2
> 
>     TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST:
>         Pentium M VxWorks 6.3
>         VxSim VxWorks 6.3

Please note that Vxworks is not supported by the DOC group,so if you are
using this platform you may want to contact one of the companies listed
in

Thanks,

        Doug
