The demand has been very high, so I have decided to take the time to tidy up the code, and update it to handle the tree based process table organisation used in Sun 4.0. Expect to see an updated version in comp.sources.misc in about a fortnight, the new version should deal with all Sun OS releases (I will test it on 3.2, 3.5 and 4.0 before release), VAX BSD 4.2 and Orion HLH.
