    I'll have to dig around for it. What I have _NEVER_ seen so far is
    a simple list of header files and a discription of what they do (for 
    unix that is). I think this is because of all the proprietary versions
    of unix out there.
    The os's at my college are farely up to date, I hope termio will be
    on one of the unix machines there
