Prentice Hall tells me they're backordered on the appropriate manuals
and I'm getting impatient:

Can someone briefly explain the change in behaviour of signal in SysVr3.2?
I had previously programmed it as returning int, and I used to use a switch
to deal with various possible return values.

So now I'm told it returns void. How does one know what the call did?

Since I'll assume most of you have the manual which I don't, please
mail replies. Best thing would be to mail me the man page, if possible.

Much thanks.
