Can anybody tell me the size, type and scaling of the load average
variables in the kernel on SCO unix 3.2v4?

I am assuming it is the avenrun variable, but it does not seem to be
in a standard format that is useable.   What is it?  A long, double, scaled
long, or what?  How big is it?  [or is avenrun a big array?]

Most code I have seen assumes that avenrun is either an array of 3
or 5 entries, each being a double or a long, with longs normally
scaled.

Any hints appreciated!
