  I have a program which needs to determine the current
  load average on the system similiar to that which 
  is returned by uptime. Does anyone have any code or ideas
  to which they could point me ?

#include <apollo/base.h>

getla()
{
	long avenrun[3];
	status_$t status;

	proc1_$get_loadav(avenrun, &status);
}

I've added this to the FAQ file.
