It took me a while to get to this, sorry. Attached is a MagicPoint presentation 
from Peter De Schrijver about eCos. I hope it is still usefull. It is still at the 
1.3 level, so it may need an update. 

It is Copyright Mind. Anybody can copy, distibute, modify and use it under the 
condition that the Copyright statements are left intact and that Mind accepts no 
responsability of any kind for this text. It is provided "AS IS". I would 
appreciate that updates, corrections or other improvements are sent back to 
the list or to me (I have published it on our site and will update that 
version as I get improvements coming in, or from our own work).

Peter
