77* using -f in combination with -e now works correctly
78* output can be piped to a program
79* tracing setuid programs works better
80* it is now reasonable to install strace setuid to root in some circumstances
81* new useful tracing names like file and process to trace whole

83 take a file name as an argument
84* IPC calls on SunOS 4.1.x are decoded
85* Linux program memory is reliably dereferenced
