isgraph() is defined in the att C library. You do not have to rewrite the
code for isgraph(). All you need to do is to either corss link into the att
universe (ouch! :-) or extract the routines isgraph.o and version.o from 
/.attlib/libc.a and put them in your own library.

NOTE: There have been quite a lot of discussions regarding cross-linking,
WHICH IS *NOT* SUPPORTED BY PYRAMID. However, my *personal* opinion is that if
you are only porting the software then you have no choice but to cross-link. 
And again, in my opinion there is no reason why this shouldn't work. You just 
have to be careful.
