You were right when you said that most errors were due to non-portable
code. I have gotten almost all of your examples compiled for AIX machines
which are SysVR3 + BSD extensions. Anyways, you can change most usleeps to
sleep with a value for the parameter adjusted for the resolution of your 
sleep call (in my case divide by 1000, as sleep is in seconds and usleep
in milliseconds, or something like that). For xchomp, you may find that
you can leave some of them out as the programs sucks up cpu like there's no 
tomorrow. The best advice is just look at the source code and dig into 
your system manual. A BSD manual will also help as most programs seem to
have been developed on BSD systems.
