  Is there a way to get a load average on the Iris?   The BSD way
  would be to nlist the kernel and find "_avenrun", but I did not see
  anything similar on the Iris.   

  What I am after is an "/usr/ucb/uptime" clone, i.e. 

  7:41pm  up 14 days,  1:48,  7 users,  load average: 1.05, 0.90, 0.61

  It looks like everthing other than the load average can be obtained
  from /etc/utmp.

  (as a side effort, it would be nice to get "loadst" to work in GNU emacs)

  This is on 4D GTX running IRIX 3.1G.

  Thanks
