The problem is that the V2.1 version of Meta hasn't been ported to
the decstation, although it obviously won't need many changes to get it
running on the basis of your posting.

Presumably, ULtrix either stores these interfaces in a different 
place, or you have to code your own copies, or change Meta to
use the versions DEC supports (they DO have wait3, so wait4 is
a pretty simple procedure that keeps any "unwanted" status in a
buffer, and strdup is trivial)

Good luck, may the force be with you, etc.

Meta under V3.0 (later this summer) will run on all our usual
equipment and OS environments, or at least this is our current
plan.

Mark, Keith -- do I have all of this right?
