Abstract

This document describes the modifications made to the Distributed ADA Real-Time Kernel (DARK) software when porting it from its original execution environment, the 68020-based testbed built at the Software Engineering Institute, to a VAX/VMS system. This document also contains information about logical extensions to the Kernel, and the impacts thereof should the Kernel be used in operational systems.
