The sparcstation 'modload' (and 386i's I guess) mention loadable system
calls.  Anyone know how to write one?

Addendum to original message:

Well, I figured out how to do it.  It works on a sparcstation at least, and
probably will on any 4.0.3 system.

To see a simple example, unpack the file noswap.shar by anonymous ftp from
directory pub on arisia.xerox.com.

This is a very nice feature!
