Thanks Vic for the update. Since you are the author of lsof, great
program, you would know best! :) I actually remember the above
from a post of yours. I
:
: The current HP-UX 10 machine module in the 3.4 top sources from

: HP-UX 10.10 or 10.20; at least it has no private proc structure
: definition, yet uses ``struct proc'' in several places.
:
: The serious HP user can get a full proc structure definition via
