Briefly,

Generally you will need a UNIX or POSIX lookalike library of functions
including network functions, i.e. the pilot will need things like socket()
calls.  You will also need a way to move about the screen - there is a
vt100 emulator for the pilot, and the code may be integrated, or you will
have to implement your own set.
