Setting an alarm in System V

I need some System V advice.  I want to set a timer such that a signal is 
generated in less than a second.  I know how to do it in BSD by using
setitimer with either ITIMER_REAL or ITIMER_VIRTUAL to generate the 
appropriate signal.  However, I can't find any equivalent functions for
my AT&T PC7300.  I'm not sure what version of System V it is running.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Email is preferred.
