Has anyone figured out a way to get xtrek to work under sysV? Specifically, the setitimer() stuff (the interval timer seems to be used to update the universe in a periodic fashion) doesn't exist. We did try to hack it in to our kernel, but it seems another problem is then created when system calls are interrupted (BSD automagically restarts interrupted syscalls, no?). At this point, it looks like there will be no xtrekking in our part of Germany... Sigh... Any ideas for doing this some other way?
