+  cPickle release 0.3 from Jim Fulton
+
+  Revision 1.21  1997/06/19 18:51:42  jim
+  Added ident string.
+
+  Revision 1.20  1997/06/13 20:50:50  jim
+  - Various changes to make gcc -Wall -pedantic happy, including
+    getting rid of staticforward declarations and adding pretend use
+    of two statics defined in .h file.
+
+  Revision 1.19  1997/06/02 18:15:17  jim
+  Merged in guido's changes.
+
+  Revision 1.18  1997/05/07 16:26:47  jim
+  getvalue() can nor be given an argument.  If this argument is true,
+  then getvalue returns the text upto the current position.  Otherwise
+  it returns all of the text.  The default value of the argument is
+  false.
+
+  Revision 1.17  1997/04/17 18:02:46  chris
+  getvalue() now returns entire string, not just the string up to
+  current position
+
+  Revision 2.5  1997/04/11 19:56:06  guido
+  My own patch: support writable 'softspace' attribute.
+
+  > Jim asked: What is softspace for?
+  
+  It's an old feature.  The print statement uses this to remember
+  whether it should insert a space before the next item or not.
+  Implementation is in fileobject.c.
+
+  Revision 1.11  1997/01/23 20:45:01  jim
+  ANSIfied it.
+  Changed way C API was exported.
+
+  Revision 1.10  1997/01/02 15:19:55  chris
+  checked in to be sure repository is up to date.
+
+  Revision 1.9  1996/12/27 21:40:29  jim
