Well, no, I can't imagine your surprise, since my article
documented that deficiency, which results from my lack of
an account on anything "newer" than an APC machine.  I'd be
appreciative if you'd post the sysadmin.h macros for those
processor types and people could incorporate them into the
code.

Another thing that slipped:  under some older Umaxes it may
be necessary to link explicitly the parallel C library to
get sysadmin(3):

	cc -o sm sm.c -lc_p
