I use a Sun 3/80 running SunOS 4.1 and need to know the size/definition
of a "click" for a program I'm working on.

In the process structure the definition of p_tsize et. al is specified in 
clicks, and I cannot find any definition of a click:

size_t  p_tsize;        /* size of text (clicks) */

I have grep:ed the header-files, rtfm, searched the SunOS docs global index,
looked in "The Design and Implementation of the 4.3 BSD..." with no success.
The only reference to click I've found is in Tanenbaum's "Operating systems.."
and the definition he uses (1 click == 16 bytes) do not seem to fit into the
one used in SunOS, since the results of my program are way out of order.

Can someone please enlighten me?
