xfer problems sco-sun

[Tim Fischer]

Hi Jeff,

I'm looking for that swapcpu program, but I can't find it anywhere.  I
assume it would be in the fp directory along with *clerk, etc?

And thanks for posting to the list, we're trying to do the actual switchover
this coming weekend!  The more eyes I have on this issue the better.

Thanks,

-Tim
