finding u areas of swapped processes

Hi,
I'm writing some code on a Sun-3 running SunOS 4.0.3 that needs to read
the u areas of active processes. However, I noticed that the SunOS
proc structure doesn't include a p_swaddr field, which contains the disk
address of the u area when the process is swapped out. On a Vax I would
just convert this into bytes and then lseek into /dev/drum to read the
u area, but it appears I can't do this on a Sun. Does anyone know how I
can find my swapped processes?
Also, can anyone tell me if it's possible to get a source license from Sun,
and if so, what is involved?
Many thanks,
