+Version 45__________		1/13/74
+
+Changes to command parser to bring DDT command line and typed in
+command line parsing into agreement:  For example,
+
+			:IMLOAD <sp> <cr>
+
+no longer causes the default load -- it just goes to the reader.
+In general, leading spaces, tabs, and such are ignored, and if
+there are no interesting characters in the DDT command line, the
+reader is entered.
+
+Version_______ 44__		11/20/74
+
+You can now IMLOAD SRI-ARC format files (such as IMNLS) directly.
+Also, second file name of input now defaults to "IML".  Finally,
+IMLOAD now does rubout deleting, ^L clears screen and retypes input,
+and ^Q quits.  The prompt character is now "@" to end confusion with
+DDT's prompt.
+
+Version_______ 43__		9/3/74
+
+Messages now are all lower case so that TIPs don't lose during "5
+second" wait.
+
+Version_______ 42__		7/2/74
+
+You can now have a file on your directory called either .PRGM. Tnm or
+.PRGM. NORMAL, and it will be used before the normal files on IMLAC;
+when you default loading (by typing just a TTY number or .).
+
+Version_______ 41__		5/9/74
+
+?? (Minor default hacking bugs?)
+
+Version 40_______ __		2/18/74
+
+Bugs in IMTRAN defaults fixed.
+
+Version 39_______ __		2/16/74
+
+It is now not necessary to specify the "_" to load a program other than
+the standard console program into your console.  That is, type:
+
+		:IMLOAD FOO BAR
+
+rather than
+
+		:IMLOAD _FOO BAR
+
+Version 38_______ __		2/13/74
+
+Changes to IMTRAN in this version.  It is now possible to IMLOAD DDT
+dump files and STINK dump files.  That is, if you have a BIN version
+of an IMLAC program you can $L it in DDT, make patches, $Y it and
+still be able to IMLOAD it afterwards.
+
+Version 37_______ __
+
+??
+
+Version_______ 36__		1/31/74
+
+The normal console program is now "IMLAC;.PRGM. NORMAL", which should
+be a link to the appropriate program.  If the .OPEN to ".PRGM. Tnm"
+fails, meaning the IMLAC is not to be loaded specially, then it tries
+the default: ".PRGM. NORMAL".  Only if that also fails does it say
+"INPUT OPEN FAILED".
+
+Version_______ 35__		1/25/74
+
+Minor bug fixed which concerns action to be taken when program is
+apparently not normal format.  Concerns BBN IMLAC mostly.
+
+Version_______ 34__		1/8/74
+
+IMLOAD now refuses communication during loading (that is, communication
+directed at the console being loaded).  The pre-IMLOAD communicate
+state is restored when IMLOAD kills itself.
+
+Version_______ 33__		12/5/73
+
+(a) IMLOAD now takes its argument optionally on the command line.
+That is:
+
+	;IMLOAD 25<cr>
+
+will load T25.  A new special argument has been added:
+
+	;IMLOAD .<cr>
+
+will reload TTY (like typing <cr> only to IMLOAD's prompt char.
+If no argument is given on the command line, IMLOAD works just
+as it used to.
+
+(b) The standard default program for graphics IMLACs is now
+GSV IML, which has ARDS style graphics in it.  It is "SSV.9" in the
+upper left of the screen.
+
+Version_______ 32__		11/10/73
+
+The new version of IMLOAD knows about the "standard" program
+for each IMLAC.  Graphics IMLACs are NSV, and alphanumeric
+IMLACs are SSV.  To get the standard program loaded into a machine
+type (to IMLOAD):
+
+<cr-lf>		; to reload TTY
+
+or
+
+<console number><crlf>	; to reload console "T<console number>"
