+- * Changelog
+- * ~~~~~~~~~
+- *
+- * Thu, 22 Aug 2002 15:10:43 +0200
+- * 	- Update Config.help entry. I got a number of emails asking
+- * 	  me to tell their senders if they could make use of this
+- * 	  piece of code... So: "SRM is something like BIOS for your
+- * 	  Alpha"
+- * 	- Update code formatting a bit to better conform CodingStyle
+- * 	  rules.
+- * 	- So this is v0.0.5, with no changes (except formatting)
+- * 	
+- * Wed, 22 May 2002 00:11:21 +0200
+- * 	- Fix typo on comment (SRC -> SRM)
+- * 	- Call this "Version 0.0.4"
+- *
+- * Tue,  9 Apr 2002 18:44:40 +0200
+- * 	- Implement access by variable name and additionally
+- * 	  by number. This is done by creating two subdirectories
+- * 	  where one holds all names (like the old directory
+- * 	  did) and the other holding 256 files named like "0",
+- * 	  "1" and so on.
+- * 	- Call this "Version 0.0.3"
