It shouldn't be too much of a problem to port it. vxWorks is
a bit different in that you don't build executables in the UNIX
sense. You build .o files and they are linked when loaded. There
is no main(). But if you changed main() to kermit() you should be
OK. Argument typed on the command line are mapped into the
function arguments. You will have to change some header files
and the makefile won't work as it is.
