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'd 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?
