PTY-Allocation under SCO 5

[svaughan at asterion.com]

Bastian showed me that this command
will give you the number of ptys configured.

[sam at beta<>]:$ grep NSPTTYS /etc/conf/cf.d/stune
NSPTTYS 1056

Possible to put in the configure? 

I will have more time tonight to look into if there is a system call .....
I'll let you know.
