- Include <sys/wait.h>, You are home free. If your software ueses "union wait"
- directly, rather than wait macros, fix your software. That will make it
- more portable.

- I think what he was asking was *how* to "fix your software" -- what's
- the correspondence between the union wait elements and the POSIX wait
- macros. Unfortunately I don't have time to produce an equivalence
- table right now -- maybe someone else does?
