 Author      : Michael Kusold
 Version     : 0.3
 Description : This program is an extension of 660_Lab03.c which was an
 extension of 660_Lab01. It implements a persistent state
 history file. The history file location is ./kusold.history.
 The history file is saved immediately before the user exits
 the program by ^D. If the program is terminated in another
 fashion, no guarentees are made about the state of the
 history file.
