As I said before: Using /proc to read system stati is evil_TM.
There are standard library calls that will give the same functionality,
after all.

Almost every UNIX I know of has /proc, but each implementation differs, eg.
Solaris, AIX and HP/UX (bless you) use binary, not textual, files.

So, I say again: using /proc is evil_TM.

Correct, it's gone.

man systat and/or
man libkvm or
man kvm

depending on the system you're using. At least BSD'ish systems
support kvm, Solaris included.

Because #import support was supposed to "go away" in GCC 3.somthing.
