+=head1 HISTORY
+
+ivan@voicenet.com sep/oct 96
+
+separated billing and collections, cleaned up code.
+ivan@voicenet.com 96-nov-11
+
+added -d option
+ivan@voicenet.com 96-nov-13
+
+added -v option and started to implement it, added 'd:' to getopts call
+ (oops!)
+ivan@voicenet.com 97-jan-2
+
+added more debug messages, moved some searches to fssearch.pl library (for
+speed)
+rewrote "all customer" finder to know about bill dates, for speed.
+ivan@voicenet.com 97-jan-8
+
+thought about it a while, and removed passing of the -d option to collect...?
+ivan@voicenet.com 97-jan-14
+
+make all -v stuff STDERR
+ivan@voicenet.com 97-feb-4
+
+added pkgnum as argument to program from /db/part_pkg, with kludge for the
+"/bin/echo XX" 's already there.
+ivan@voicenet.com 97-feb-23
+
+- general cleanup
+- customers who are suspended can still be billed for the setup fee
+- cust_pkg record is re-read after the package setup fee program is run.
+ this way,
+ that program can modify the record (for example, to start accounts off
+ suspended)
+ (best to think four or five times before modifying anything else!)
+ivan@voicenet.com 97-feb-26
+
+don't bill recurring fee if its not time! (was removed)
+ivan@voicenet.com 97-mar-6
+
+added -b option, send batch when done billing.
+ivan@voicenet.com 97-apr-4
+
+insecure dependency on line 179ish below needs to be fixed before bill is
+used setuid
+ivan@voicenet.com 97-jun-2
+
+removed running of setup program (depriciated)
+ivan@voicenet.com 97-jul-21
+
+rewrote for new API, removed option to specify custnums (use FS::Bill
+instead), removed -v option (?)
+ivan@voicenet.com 97-jul-22 - 23 - 25 -28
+(need to add back in email stuff, look in /home/ivan/old/dbin/collect)
+
+s/suidsetup/adminsuidsetup/, s/FS::Search/FS::Record/, added some batch
+exporting stuff (which still needs to be generalized) and removed &idiot
