Dear Mr. Perry,

        I downloaded the clock.c from
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-current/sys/i386/isa/clock.c and compile it,
I get the error:- "pcppi.h not found", I check the clock.c code and there is
a include header file
#include "pcppi.h"

        I downloaded the ls-lRA.gz from ftp.netbsd.org, gunzip it and I also
can not find where is the location of pcppi.h

        Any help?
