I set up an RJE station several years ago based on an LSI-11 connected
to  a UNIX V7 system. (The station ran a card reader (ugh!) and a line
printer; the UNIX system spooled the jobs to and from an old, old  CDC
mainframe.) Except for interrupt vectors, all the software on the LSI-
11 was written in C, compiled with the V7 C compiler, load-edited with
V7's `ld', and down-loaded without change using a simple protocal.

Since the LSI-11 was essentially a peripheral device, licensing wasn't
a  problem  (at least I hope not).  In your case, since the Terak is a
stand-alone system, licensing requirements might get tricky, especial-
ly  if  you  don't  already have a license for a PDP-11-flavored UNIX.
But working on your project in a UNIX environment might be  worth  the
trouble (I'm prejudiced).
