	I may even port that myself this week if noone else has!  I wrote
grabchars and said at the time that I would #ifdef SYS V into it, and
then I got dragged/sidetracked into some other projects.  If anyone
has done this port, please send it to me (and Mark), so that I may add
to that for my next release.  Also, if anyone has suggestions on what to
add to it, send 'em; I'll see what I can do.
