We have a large multi-tasking system in Ada (83) that my employer wants
to convert to C++ running on VxWorks.

Since I designed all of the tasks in the system I've been tasked with the
task
of writing a white paper on how one would go about converting Ada tasks
into VxWorks tasks (apologies for the pitiful attempt at humor).

Things were going halfway decent until I realized that my approach
wasn't going to handle selects with guards, or conditional and timed entry
calls.

I'm sure I've read that there are implementations of Ada running on
VxWorks, so a mapping must exist.

Is anyone aware of any existing works that I could "borrow" from?

Thanks!
