Just a note that there isn't just one "top" out there - there's the classic top from William LeFebvre at http://www.groupsys.com/topinfo/ and there's also the GNU/Linus version at http://procps.sourceforge.net/ which was AFAIK a complete rewrite. That's not suprising given the process/kernel information being printed by the tools varies between different OS platforms but the command line arguments and the display output also is different. The CCD version is the "classic" one (version 3.5.1). dsc
