- changed psmisc.<version>.lsm to psmisc-<version>.lsm for consistency
Changes from version 14 to 15 (16-JUN-1997)

- changed package name format from psmisc.<version> to psmisc-<version> to
avoid annoyance messages from sunsite's archive scripts

===========================================

- fuser: INET domain sockets can now be specified as
[local_port][,[remote_host][,[remote_port]]]

- killall: now tries harder to handle very long names (> 15 characters)
(proposed by Erik Thiele)

Changes from version 10 to 11 (20-SEP-1995)

=========================================
- fuser: now works with Plan 9 semantics (i.e. what recent kernels use;
reported by Harald Koenig, Nick Simicich, and others)
- fuser: now also scans /proc/*/maps
- fuser: fixed NULL pointer dereferencing when processes are created while
fuser is running (fix by Pauline Middelink)
- fuser: now resets effective uid to real uid before killing, thereby making
suid installation a smaller security risk

- "make spotless": fixed typo
- man pages: minor corrections and improvements
Changes from version 6 to 7
===========================
- pstree: -h didn't work because of incorrect termcap usage
