Sigh.  When I first posted a reply to this, I forgot about TOP.  There is
a group of European OS-9 users who have ported various software to OS-9,
and who have written a set of functions that appear to duplicate the
function of some Unix library functions.  I believe they posted said
functions to comp.os.os9 a while back--I have them, though Mr. Cook may
find it easier to get them more directly from TOP in Munich.  TOP stuff
appears to have a GNUoid copyleft attached.

For the record, a disclaimer--I haven't used these functions, so I can't
vouch for them.  (Not to denigrate them, either, just trying to make sure
folks know what's what.)
