Re: FDA Validation a Threat to Free/OSS?
by Elmer Fittery on Wednesday April 02, 2003 @ 11:07 AM

I am working a contract at BioMerieux in St. Louis, MO. The device they are developing software for is based on the embedded OS - RTXC 3.0. The current version of RTXC is 3.2. Anyhow, all software tools are required to be validated. This doesn't apply to just LINUX/GNU open source software, but also to things like Word, Excel, Emacs, VI, etc.... IMHO, the idea that a tool like Word needs has be validated is redicilous. Focus should be on the application and not on tools used to develope an application. Focus on testing the functionality of the software. JMHO.

Elmer, My name is Roland O'Connell and I work for GE Transportation Systems in Grain Valley MO. I am working on a legacy system that uses RTXC 3.0 as the RTOS. I am looking for documentation concerning RTXC 3.0. Do you have any idea where I could find RTXC 3.0 Documentation? Thanks! Roland O' Connell

Did you get Emacs validated. If so I would like the documentation. I work at a CRO and would like to present some documentation to my employer so I can beg and plead with them to let me use EMACS.
