Thanks for the pointer. I checked V2.05, and the above file doesn't exist.

For what it's worth, I am not porting anything to FreeBSD. The TOP program
is already ported, but it has problems with the sys_errlist declaration in
its utils.c program, which severly conflicts with the FreeBSD stdio.h
declaration.

TOP V3.3 has code specific for FreeBSD as well as NetBSD and BSD, and
others.

Nevertheless, I will get the "handbook" and look for any hints on how
to resolve this problem.
