I am sure that all Hideos users are aware that the Author Jim
Kowalkowski is no longer at APS.I have been thinking about how we can
continue to support Hideos users and also how to make it easy to provide
support for new IP platforms and new IP modules.

I propose that we do away with the "bare" hideos support. Thus instead
of a 162 running only Hideos we will instead support a 162 running
vxWorks and Hideos.

Disadvantages:

1) Need a vxWorks target lisence for each 162.
2) More memory usage. (Note that our rather full blown vxWorks uses
about .5 meg)

Advantages

1) Most of the Hideos code goes away
2) Will be much easier to support new processors (172, powerPc, etc)
3) Will have vxWorks debugging environment. Also tornado environment.
