Uhmm... I _did_ say that it was ugly :-).  I had reservations about exposing
my deep lack of understanding of key Java programming concepts, but I _did_
want to find out how other OSs worked.

Yeah.  Cool, huh?  I'm interested in high fidelity physics simulations, and
I use a simulation clock based on a Behavior with WakeupOnElapsedTime(dt
/*milliseconds*/) and t +=dt at the top of the processStimulus().  The
WakeupOnElapsedTime(dt) works exactly like wait(dt), so unless I pick a dt
just below one of the steps shown on the plots, the sim clock can slip a lot
with respect to the system clock.  I have to measure the OSdt before I set
up the clock.  Nasty little gotchas hiding everywhere.

Cheers,
Fred
