+July 2000 Andrew Stevens
+	 Trivial modifications to support catenated audio stremas and
+	  non-intractive use.
+August 2000 Andrew Stevens
+	Modifed to support multiplexing of variable bit-rate
+	video streams. Seems to work well.
+August 2000 Andrew Stevens
+	Removed use of temporary files for storing stream data.
+	Increased performance through the use of a more efficient bitstream 
+	library.
+	Eliminated arithmetic overflow errors for large streams.
+	Initial support for multiplexing variable bit-rate streams.
+
+Novermber 2000 Andrew Stevens
+	Clean up code to suit modern compilers with 64-bit int support.
+	Cleaned up packet size calculations to make the code more flexible.
+	Initial MPEG-2 support
