Xenix dial() function in C program

As of Development System 2.2, the dial routines are broken.  They still
expect the L-devices file format that was used under 2.1.3 runtime.
We reported this to SCO as soon as we got the upgrade to 2.2 development,
(maybe 6-8 months ago), and were told that they knew about the problem
but had no fix for us.  I guess they don't expect anyone to use the dial
library routines.

We ended up kludging our way around it by doing something like
	system("/usr/lib/uucp/dial .....");
