As suggested, I looked up the "getstat ()" C call in the C compiler's
user's guide. It told me if I wanted anymore information to check with
the OS-9 System Programmer's Manual. I don't have that book. Does anyone
know where I can either get it, or if it's online anywhere where I can
view it?

Thanks!
