sysinfo patch

[John Campbell]

	Patch for Lenny Tropiano's sysinfo program for the UNIX PC.
		By John Campbell  ...!arizona!naucse!jdc

This patch prevents sysinfo from writing to the 2 bottom lines of the Unix
PC screen if those lines are being used by another program.  This patch
will be useful to users of GNUPLOT 1.10A, which uses those 2 lines for
range information.  It will, of course, work with any other program, such as
the UA, the phone manager, etc... that uses these 2 lines (ie: soft keys.)

To apply it, feed it to Larry Wall's patch program.  If you don't have it
and can't get it, apply it by hand.
