I'm trying to make GNU Emacs (18.57) dig up the load average on SCO Unix 3.2v2.0, without much success so far. It should be possible because 'w' does it, but I haven't found the magic formula yet... anyone know what type the averages are in the kernel (double, long, ?) and how to convert them to the normal "load average" figure? Anyone done this for Emacs already? All help appreciated. __________________________________________________________________________ P e t r i W e s s m a n Helsinki University of Technology, Finland - You don't exist.

I'm trying to find a compilation (config.h) setup that would enable Emacs to read load averages, the setup I have so far doesn't quite hack it (job control and the pseudo-tty stuff works fine, though). You wouldn't happen to have the config.h file for your site handy, would you? Mail me a copy if you do, please. //Petri
