 Yep. It is almost useless, but that is where it is available from.

 Yep. Scheduled release date is January 1990, same as their proprietary
windowing system. The windowing system showed 4 months later, the
POSIX version is still vaporware.

 Avoid QNX unless your application is process control. It isn't useful
for anything else (I used to be a heavy user, I was a beta site for
the windowing system and was scheduled to be for the POSIX OS as well.
Then I got smart and saw through the lies and got out of QNX...).
