        Here's some info about the new w program:

	I wrote it (from scratch) as the existing one didn't work properly, and
I also wanted to include some extra  functionality.  After I'd written  much of
the code,  someone sent me the source for the current  procps, so I lifted some
of the routines, and used them.  You therefore  need some other procps files to
be able to compile w.

	Bug fixes (not so much fixes, as just not being present, as the code is
not really derivative):
		It doesn't break on 8-char usernames.
		It doesn't break on non-local tty's.

	Features:
		New field !  Remote hostname.
		Different (better?) reporting of JCPU - it now reports cpu
			usage for all processes started on a tty, whether the
			process still exists or not.

	Compilation:
		gcc -o w w.c sysinfo.c whattime.c
                [ Note from PJV: I added a makefile for this. ]

		whatttime and sysinfo (.c and .h) files are part of procps.

	Acknowledgements:
		Basically, Larry Greenfield who wrote the original w, and
	Michael K. Johnson who made some mods to w, and wrote whattime.

	Distribution is copyleft...  (you know the score!)
