    i am looking for an implementation of the Unix ioctl() function
to run under Vax-11 C.  The only one i know of is part of the Eunice
Unix emulator, and i want this to run on non-Eunice systems.  As a
proper implementation would undoubtedly require new versions of ALL
the Vax-11 C i/o routines, i thought it smart to ask around first.
Obviously, some features will be lost in the transition, but i really
need this function.
     It's kind of ironic that the reason i need the Unix-emulating
routines is to support moving a new window package (to replace curses)
from VMS to Unix -- just when DEC went to the trouble of putting curses
into Vax-11 C v2.0.
