+  all:      Implemented logical/physical drivers..  Whew!
+	    main.c, mode.c, lcd.* have changed, and I've added text.* and
+	    MtxOrb.* driver files...
+	    New commandline option "-l driver" selects a driver.
+	
+1998-04-21: Scott
+  all:      Lots of updates...  (patches, etc)
+            Implemented a frame buffer, and custom characters...
+	    Added lots of comments, and cleaned a few things...
+	    Added a few function to lcd.c
+	
+1998-03-22: Scott
+  main.c:   Should exit cleanly now, always...  It sometimes wouldn't, if killed
+  	    by init at shutdown...  (it would get stuck in a usleep for too
+  	    long, and then get killed instead of shutting down)
+  main.c:   Changed timing method...  Sequences now specify their length in 
+  	    TIME_UNITs.  A time unit is 1/8th of a second.  This should make
+  	    blinking and other such things easy...
+  main.c:   Removed command line options to specify timings...  Why would the
+  	    user really need to change that anyway?
+  main.c:   A few mode-feedback things are implemented: blinking, and backlight
+            on/off stuff...
+  mode.c:   Xload_screen now sends feedback to toggle blinking for a high load,
+            or turn the backlight off for no load...
+
+1998-03-13: Scott
+  Makefile: Installs man page in /usr/local/man/man1...
+  main.c:   Now detects previously running lcdproc.
+  lock.?:   New files for detecting another lcdproc...
+  	Now detects an already-running process, and gets its pid.  So far,
+  	it just exits when this happens.
+
+1998-02-28: Scott
+  Makefile: Now handles installation with "make install".
+  main.c: New command line stuff... (in man page)  Also, default contrast is
+          140 now.  Looks better from all angles, at least on my machine. :)
+  lcd.1:  Man page.  New..  :)
+  mode.c: Rearranged memory screen..  Shows Memory and Swap space separately,
+  	  with two graphs.
+
+1998-02-24: Scott
+  mode.c: Rearranged memory screen.  Worked around hbar bios bug.  Added swap
+          info to this screen also, so get_mem_info is back to its former
+          state.  (call it on an array)
+  mode.c: Fixed xload screen.  It was displaying things one space to the left.
+  main.c: Changed command line style from "mode num_times delay_time" to
+          "mode total_time delay_time".  Is this better or worse?
+
+1998-02-22: Scott
+  main.c: Now handles SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and SIGTERM (kill) for a clean exit.
+  main.c: Default device now works.  (device[] was getting overwritten by
+          argv[0], which would always be "lcd")
+  mode.c: Fixed CPU load meter.  Decreased cpu buffer size back to 4.
+  mode.c: Made goodbye_screen() do something...
+  mode.c: Fixed am/pm on clock_screen().  Was previously displaying 12:xx:xxA
+          during the noon hour, instead of 12:xx:xxP.
+
+1998-02-18: Scott
+  mode.c: Fixed crash on memory screen; commented out last two lines of
+    get_mem_info, which accessed a non-existent variable.
+  mode.c: Added "rep" parameter to all screen functions.  Specifies how many times
+    that screen has been run.  Using 0 will force screen clear/redraw, and
+    the time-based ones also use this to determine if colons should be drawn.
+  main.c: Implemented simple command-line parameters.  Example:
+    lcd m 4 .5 /dev/cua1 x 1 2
+    uses /dev/cua1 for lcd, displaying memory info 4 times at .5 seconds each,
+    and the xload screen once for 2 seconds; then loops.
+  mode.c & lcd.c: created "NOLCD" preprocessor switch.  When defined, lcd uses
+    text output (stdout) instead of the com port.
+  mode.c: Changed clock string generation to use "%02d" to achieve that
+    "02:37:06" look.  (hint: printf can pad numbers with leading 0's)
+  main.c: Added minimal command-line help.
