Installing Top under SunOS 4.0.X

I have a public domain program called Top 2.0 by William Lefevre.  It
successfully compiles under Ultrix 2.0 on a VAX, and on a Sun 3/280 under SunOS
3.5.  However, I have not been able to compile it successfully on a Sun 3/480
under SunOS 4.0.X.  I have narrowed the problem down to some major differences
in the proc table between the two versions.  However, I have been unable to
contact the author of the program to see if there is a patch to it for 4.0.X.

Does anyone else use this program?  Does anyone know the current whereabouts of
the author, as I have received no response from mail sent to the account listed
in the documentation (phil at rice.edu)?  Has anyone implemented this on SunOS
4.0.X?  I ask only to see if someone has a patch to it before I go and hack it
up to make it work.

Thanks in advance.

Eric
