+	07/21/1999 (Stephen Pitts, smpitts@midsouth.rr.com)
+		* Added new constant: BUFFER_SIZE to determine the size
+		  of the buffer used in fgets() operations. Right now,
+		  its at 512 bytes. Fixed crashing on my system when
+		  one line of /proc/net/dev was longer than 128 bytes
 	04/05/1998 (Martijn Pieterse, pieterse@xs4all.nl)
 		* Changed the "middle of the waveform" line color
 		* Moved the RedrawWindow out of the main loop.
