winsize struct

According to scs at adam.mit.edu:

Yup.  Just what the doctor ordered.

Signal, sure.  But you can't include <sgtty.h> on SCO UNIX, even
though it has TIOCSWINSZ.  Try:

     #if defined(POSIX)
     #include <termios.h>
     #else
     #if defined(USG)
     #include <termio.h>
     #else
     #include <sgtty.h>
     #endif
     #endif

(Macro POSIX and/or USG set from the command line.)

For future tty mode hacking, I'd like to suggest that all OS-dependent
code be implemented, as much as possible, in terms of POSIX functions
like tcgetattr(), tcsetattr(), tcflush(), etc.
