"struct itimerval" and "setitimer" in SCO Unix

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew of, had implemented, or could show me an
alternative to the setitimer() function in the Berkeley world that works
on SCO V3.2.2?  I am trying to compile XTREK D3.1 which uses the ITIMER
(interval timer - not sure about actual operation) for signaling the process
for causing a screen update.  This exists in Berkeley.  But no such thing
that I can see exists in the world of SCO.  Is there some disk you can get
from SCO that has it (SCO - you listening?)?  Or is there some other implement-
ation of it and if so where?  Or (not being well versed in its function), is
there some way of simulating it under the SCO environment that will allow me
to get XTREK running properly?  It seems that at one time, someone from SCO
had told me that it used to available as an additional patch disk.  Is that 
still around?

This is not the first time I have run into it.  I had a similar problem trying
to compile 'xv' which was halted for the same reason.

Any leads on this one would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks,

Mark.
