Hi again,
the answer to the ftime() problem came quite immediately from J"org
Wunsch. He sent me an ftime() interface to gettimeofday() wich can be
used for code still requiring the (obsolete, in the meantime) ftime().
Thanks to J"org Wunsch, whose ftime() emulating code I appended to my
posting. Even though he told me that he didn't tested this, I think it
will help all, who are concerned in porting Unix-software to 386BSD.
regards
-Gunther
