sgtty.h is an include file which usually just includes (into itself) the
system dependent headers concerned with talking to terminals.  I vaguely
recall that in unix ioctl.h is included, which contains mainly compiler
definitions (such as BELL 07 etc).  It also contains some very OS
dependent stuff such as socket support etc.

So, basically, it's specific to Unix (and a couple of similar OSs) so does
not appear in the standard Archimedes C library.  You'll have to remove
the #include <sgtty.h> statement, then run it through the compiler again
and see what it complains about.  I haven't seen the source in question, but
it's possible it just uses a few of the compiler definitions which you can
pick out of the throwback and derive yourself.  If, however, it expects to
use sockets, pipes and so forth you have a problem.

I recall that somebody did a Unix library for the Arch, so maybe it will
make life easier (I haven't seen it).  If not, you're in for some fun I
suspect.
