Subject: ulimit() ?

Although ulimit() is not described in CARM, is it possible to whip up
an implementation of it any time soon?  All I really need is function
3 out of it at the moment.  Alternately, if you already happen to have
an implementation of the Unix sort program hidden away somewhere, that
would be even better...

ulimit() is a SYSV call.  It is a rather crude thing and I think it would
be better to use BSD's getrlimit() and setrlimit(), which moreover have
well-defined interfaces.  I think we can add those.  I will note it
on the list, and I hope we can get KCC-4 out by mid-March.  Right now
is an absolutely terrible time (proposals, contract deliverables...)

I don't know about "sort".  If there is a public version in comp.sources
or the like, it would probably be possible to compile it, but I don't
know if there is one.
