ANNOUNCEMENT: gRMA v0.01a released

The first alpha release of gRMA a free, graphical tool for doing Rate
Monotonic Analysis of real-time systems has been released.  You can
get this release from:

http://www.tregar.com/gRMA/

In case you're wondering what this has to do with Perl - it's written
entirely in Perl and I'm looking for other Perl programmers to help me
develop it further.

>From the README:

-----------
gRMA v0.01a
-----------

a graphical tool for rate monotonic analysis
of real time systems

DESCRIPTION

This program provides a graphical environment for experimentation with
rate monotonic analysis of real-time systems.  You are provided with
tools for describing a real time system.  You can then view the
results of performing rate monotonic analysis of this system.  For
details on the theory please see the documentation in the 'doc/'
directory.  For details on the operation of the program, please refer
to the online help system accessible from the 'Help' menu on the main
screen.

This module is licensed under the GPL - no warranty of any kind is
provided.  See the LICENSE section below for more details.

                   *** THIS IS AN ALPHA RELEASE ***

WARNING: This is an alpha release!  It is not a complete software
product.  Please report any and all bugs you find in it to me at
[email-masked].  Please consider contributing solutions to bugs and
shortcomings - any and all help will be appreciated and credited.

This program is in a highly incomplete form.  In particular, it is
possible to specify systems that the analysis engine cannot produce
results for.  This was done to provide a working base for future
development.  If someone wants to add, for example, the ability to
handle "bursty" aperiodic tasks to the analysis engine, all that is
necessary is to modify the engine itself.  If I had not included the
"Bursty" option in the Task Editor, it would require a difficult
change to the GUI code to support that analysis.  Of course, some
changes will require GUI changes, but the hope is that these will be
kept to a minimum.
