COMPILATION ERROR:  In Convex Unix 7.0 (the latest release), the
include file <nlist.h> contains a nonstandard construct:

struct nlist {
	union {
		char	*n_name;	/* for use when in core */
		long	n_strx;		/* index into string table */
	} n_un;				/* union for name and string index */

..etc...

Consequently, the routine load-average in fns.c must be altered.
