I would like to do an informal survey of the development enviroments
being used out there.  The things that I would be interested in are:

   0) A brief description of your robot configuration.

   1) Type of workstations (e.g. SUN, Silicon Graphics, IBM
      RS6000, HP, IBM PC/XT/AT/286/386/486, Macintosh, ...)
      used and why.  If you more than one workstation, please say how
      they are networked (e.g. ethernet with TCP/IP, Appletalk,...)

   2) The development environment used for both the workstation and
      the on-board robot  e.g. GNU software, MPW (for the
      Mac), X windows, MOTIF, VxWorks, CLIM, ...  

   3) Languages used: C, LISP, Prolog, CLOS, ...


Please send your responses (keep them short, please) to me
(wlim@gdstech.grumman.com).  When I get enough responses I'll post a
summary to comp.robotics.

Thanks in advance.



Willie
