Version 2.2b of ProcMeter released : Thu May 29 20:00:00 1997
-------------------------------------------------------------
Updated for new kernel change (/proc/meminfo in 2.1.41).
Added a -force-spkt option to force spkt statistics even if not auto-detected.

Version 2.2 of ProcMeter released : Sun Nov 3 15:00:00 1996
------------------------------------------------------------
Added a -force-spkt option to force spkt statistics even if not auto-detected.
Choice of solid or line graph provided via X resources.
Modified Statistics:
spkt Number of packets \ 'Slow' interfaces
spkt-rx Number of received packets | (slip, ppp, plip,
spkt-tx Number of transmitted packets / flip, isdn, ippp).
Tested on Linux 1.2.13.
Version 2.1 of ProcMeter released : Sun Sep 1 14:00:00 1996
------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed the problem with being unable to read context data from /proc/stat.
Fixed a number of problems with network statistics.
Scaling of memory graph depends on total amount of RAM.
Grid lines can be turned off.
Overload conditions with too many grid lines cause them to be removed.
