+This is a disk protection user-space daemon for IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads.
+It monitors the acceleration values through the HDAPS interface and
+automatically initiates disk head parking if a fall or sliding of the
+laptop is detected.
+
+If you would like to use the latest source when building your
+hdapsd package, you will need to get it from their git server.
+In order to do that, use the included hdapsd-mksrctarball.sh
+script, which will download the source code and will create
+a compressed tarball using today's date (YYYYMMDD) as its version string.
+To use your newly download source, you will need to tell the SlackBuild
+to use it like so: VERSION=YYYYMMDD ./hdapsd.SlackBuild
+
+Be sure to see README.SLACKWARE for usage information.
+
+This requires tp_smapi.
