1.) I have been running 0.99.5 since the day Linus put out the patch, and
top has been running on VC 11 since I recompiled and rebooted. I just
grabbed the 0.99.2 ps package and recompiled it. Fstat didn't want to
compile, and I didn't feel like digging around in it, sicne I don't use it.
2.) The w that comes with the ps package doesn't seem to support this
option. The one here at school under Sunos 4.1.2 does however.
3.) I presume you are running tcsh, since that shell was the only one I
ever used that had this "feature". Try man tcsh, since I forget the exact
option.
