	 Oh no, call terminal!!!

This is a very useful script, but it is based on "ct", not "cu".  I
think the original poster and I have the same problem -- we can't find a
copy of "ct".  I heard that it is a SysV utility, and we have BSD.
Since there were many requests for the script using it, I am sure it
would be worth posting a "ct" program, if anyone has one.  Thanks.
