Hi:
	I just finished typing in the BSD dir(3) emulation routines for
System V, which are found in the back of J.E. Lapin's "Portable C and
Unix System Programming" Prentice Hall 1987.  Well, he seems to have left
off seekdir(3).  After five minutes of looking at his code, I have this
as a first approximation.  Does this look right??


void seekdir(dirp, offset)	/* hack - this proc was  missing */
register DIR *dirp;
register long offset;
{
	lseek(dirp->dd_fd, offset);
	dirp->dd_loc = 0;		/* ??? */
}
