%X The article describes how SPoC (Southampton Portable occam
   Compiler) has been used \-\- together with hand\-written C
   \-\- in Autronica\[rs]s new GL\-100 radar\-based fluid
   gauge. The final C\-code is running on a Texas TMS320C32
   DSP. Some 2600 lines of C code have been automatically
   translated from the occam sources. SPoC\[rs]s
   non\-preemptive scheduling filled our needs with a few
   exceptions. The main problem has been aligning occam 2 and
   ANSI\-C data abstractions. A realtime system based on
   language support of high\-level concurrency abstractions (as
   opposed to separate real\-time kernel and use of library
   calls without direct language support) is soon to monitor
   worldwide charging and discharging of oil tankers.
