You may want to contact Wind River Systems (vendors of VxWorks) or put out
another query about their user's group.  At my previous job we were involved
with using C++ (ala GNU g++) with the VxWorks RTOS.  The user's group has an
archive of software from various members - a hefty bit of which was 
implementation of RTOS objects (semaphores, priority queues, etc).

Sorry I don't have the e-mail connection for the user's group handy.  In any
case, you can reach Wind River Systems at 

	support@wrs.com

and maybe they can provide the info.  If not, maybe somebody on this newsgroup
can help out my memory?
