I've uploaded ps-0.97.tar.Z to banjo.concert.net, /pub/Linux/Incoming.
I intend this to be temporary, until somebody figures out what is
going on with include files. 0.97 has moved a bunch of include files
that used to be in /usr/src/linux/include/sys to
/usr/src/linux/include/linux. This causes no end of trouble to
programs like ps. We now end up with versions of types.h and several
other header files from /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/sys. I've
added various #define's to keep duplicate copies from being loaded,
but this is clearly not the right solution. I have no idea why Linus
moved the header files for 0.97. The old way was sensible. By
tradition, /usr/include/sys is supposed to be the header files from
the kernel source area. Having duplicate copies in
/usr/include/linux, which get pulled in whenever you load other files
from /usr/include/linux, is an incredible pain. Note that this tar.Z
file has both source and binaries (the binaries use the 2.2.2 shared
library).
If the include files are ever fixed, just remove all the #defines from
the middle of the #includes at the beginning of ps.c, top.c, free.c
and w.c.
