I have read some VxWorks tech info sheets, and this system seems
to be every unix programmer's dream for a Real Time OS + development
environment... I noticed one think lacking though : VxWorks is
"BSD 4.3 compatible" in system calls, but it says nothing about SysV.

Does this mean that all those nice SysV IPC things (Shared memory,
message queues, semaphores) won't work with VxWorks ? Are there
any GOOD replacement tools that DO come with VxWorks ? I find that
semaphores and/or message queues are very much needed, and that
shared memory is a MUST in my application development...

AdvThanks,

Gil.
