How do I compile ttype?

V7/SysV times(2) system call returns a value in tics (1/60 or 1/100 sec in
the US, usually 1/50 sec in Australia)
The ttype program does not use the value for anything very crucial.
The following routine will probably be close enough.


#ifdef BSD
#include <sys/timeb.h>
#else
	struct timeb	/* only two elements used */
	{
		time_t		time;
		unsigned long	millitm;
	};
#define	index	strchr
#define	rindex	strrchr
#endif	/* BSD */

	/* ... */

#ifndef BSD
ftime(t)
struct timeb *t;
{
	struct tm	tbuf;

	time(&t->time);
	t->millitm = (times(&tbuf) % HZ) * (1000/HZ);
}
#endif	/* BSD */
