I am trying to compile a software package that was unfortunately not written
for SysV although they claim that it is.   The computer being used is an HP800
running HPUX 3.1.   One of the problems that I am facing is finding a SysV
equivalent for the command "getdtablesize" which is used (so the SUN man
pages say) to "get the descriptor table size".   What can I use instead of
this command since it does not exist on the HPs.
Any help would be appreciated.   Thanks in advance.
