I'm not aware of any such software, which is not surprising since some
of the 4.3BSD calls are, well, irreplacable; there is no replacement for
"ftruncate", for example.

About as much time as it'll take for System V Release 4.0 to be released
:-).  (For example, S5R4.0 should have an "ftruncate" equivalent, and if
it isn't "ftruncate" there'll probably be an "ftruncate" library routine
that uses it.)
