Does anyone know how to implement a signal/wait sequence under ULTRIX
and/or 4.2bsd ?   We have an application with co-processes using signal
16 under V.2 ,  but the 4.2bsdsystem call "wait" doesn't return unless
the child process dies.  We have tried the "pause" system call, but get
sporadic results.  Suggestions/fixes for ULTRIX 1.1 would be appreciated.

We cannot use sockets for compatability reasons.

Send mail including day phone# and we'll contact you.  Thanks in advance.
