Original-subject: Top program for Ultrix machines
Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti)

A couple of weeks ago there was a brief discussion here concerning top, a
program which shows CPU usage interactively (shows constantly updated screen of
top n cpu users).  The main discussion was that it seemed to have broken under
Ultrix 4.x (as several kernel variables changed at that time).

I have since received an updated version of top from Robert Evans at the
University of Wales.  I was able to compile and go with only minor
customization of the Makefile.  Here is his README file:

> Robert Evans, Dept of Computing Maths.
> University of Wales College of Cardiff
> robert@cm.cf.ac.uk
> 
> Amended to
> 1) 	use ultrix window sizing
> 2)	display each processor separately
> 3)	some fixes to type casting in cpu calculations and
> 	references to include files.
> 4)	Makefile localised.
> 
> Tested on
> 1)	VAX 8350 running Ultrix 4.0
> 2)	RISC/VAX 5830 running Ultrix 4.0
> 3)	MicroVax II running Ultrix 3.0
> 4)	Sun SPARCServer 330 running SunOS 4.1
> 5)	Sun SPARCIPC running SunOS 4.1
> 6)	Sun 3/{160,150,60,50,80} running SunOS 4.1

and I can now add:
  7)	Microvax 3100 running Ultrix 4.1

I can't speak for Robert's willingness to uucp this stuff to anybody, but
I can probably do that for a reasonable number of requests.  Ftp should be
available from Robert, but you'll have to ask him.  He kindly granted me
permission to post this.
