   - changed option handler to avoid reporting a NULL option when no
     arguments were supplied or when an invalid option was given.
   - changed the help display to fit neatly on a 25 x 80 telnet or
     ssh screen.
   - created the man page from dcon and previous gcom documentation.
   - created the COMPILING, CHANGELOG, MANIFEST and TODO files from
     pre-existing documentation.

October 2003 Paul Hardwick
   0 Minor changes to make dcon compile with current gcc without 
     errors or warnings.
   1 Added gcom.h which provides "built-in" scripts and a support 
     routine of specific use to (Option) gsm type modems.
   2 Modified script loading so that by default every script is 
     pre-pended with an internal "default" script that opens the 
     serial port correctly, checks if a PIN is required (prompting 
     the user if needed) then checks registration status and signal 
     strength. If you call the other built-in scripts then this 
     default is not executed.
   3 Added "-s" option to skip the internal default script. If this 
     option is used then the user must manually open the serial port 
     with the right baud rate.

   - Changed my E-mail address in doc.
   - Added a fix to dogoto() so that the label gets printed in log

Sometime a while ago before I moved (August 1996, I think)
   - Ansified code and Makefile, contributed by John Gotts.

   - Got a bug report from Glen Thigpen that dcon-0.91 reports "Token too long"
     errors.  Found that dcon didn't deal with non-terminated last lines
     properly.  Fixed.

   - Got a bug report from J. Van Koll reporting that the included
     ppp-ex.scr had two lines that were truncated.  Modified ppp-ex.scr
