+The <tt>stand</tt> directory holds functions that are useful, but cannot be
+called from the kernel. For example printf() is great, but if the kernel
+called printf() it would generate a TRAP and wind up back in the kernel.<p>

+The functions here emulate these functions by dealing directly with the
+hardware on the system.<p>
