Hi, Daniel.  I am not sure I know what a 80C52 is.  I think I have seen it
in my Intel hardware books somewhere.  You are correct it virtually any
real-time app could be written depending on the response time required.  
 
I normally think of process control needing a few millisecs of response
time or less - interrrupt driven vs polling.  Depends on the processes that
need controling - and the response times required - as you state. 
 
In this case, I don't any more than I already specified - it is for a job
rec and it is vague.  I never heard of writting a real-time system using
interpreted BASIC tho.  You are the first.  Congradulations.  :) 
 
I didn't know interpreted BASIC could interface to assembler.  I presume
that is what you meant, right?  How do they do that or how did you do that?

PS: Whose Interpreted BASIC were you using?  What OS were you using?
