weird, i re-wrote ps(1) for 32V [vax] and V7 [pdp-11] and with a few ifdefs
the code was pretty much the same.  it even dealt with _lnodes_, which is
specific to one site.

it really wasn't that hard.  finding the pages (the segment was trivial) for
the stack was a bit interesting so you could print the args but infinitely
better than that pus they put into SysVile.

u.u_comm i can cope with, but that other crap ...
