Recently, when porting over several BSD programs, I ran into a slight
problem with SCO Syvtem V/386 3.2.0.  Apparently, the BSD extensions
included with the Development System are lacking somewhat.  For example
the standard system calls setitimer and getitimer are not to be found
in libsocket.a.  For that matter, the necessary structs aren't even
defined in <sys/time.h>.

Has anyone created a fix for this?  I suppose that it would be easy enough
to write a routine called getitimer and setitimer, that would behave
in a similar fashion to the BSD calls, but I'm hoping that someone
already has.

Thanks,



Jeff Stockett
