98 take a file name as an argument
99* IPC calls on SunOS 4.1.x are decoded
100* Linux program memory is reliably dereferenced
101* Linux decodes at least the name of all syscalls as of pre2.0.4

110* by default the output for multiple processes now goes into one file
111* all structures, vectors, bitsets, etc. use consistent output formats
