[comp.sources.wanted] need code for watcher

Hello, world (actually, only North America)!

I have just started reading UNIX Tool Building by Kenneth Ingham.  In the
course of teaching you how to write reusable tools under UNIX, Mr. Ingham
develops a system-monitoring program called "watcher".  According to the
book, the code is released into the public domain, subject to certain
copyright restrictions (does that make sense?).

Anyway, the code is included in the book, but I'd rather not type it all in
if someone else has gone to the trouble.  Has anyone heard of this program,
and have an idea where I might find it?  Mr. Ingham was working at the
University of New Mexico when he wrote watcher; I checked pprg.unm.edu
without success.

Mr. Ingham, are you out there?
