+Modification Log from R5-7 to R5-8
+==================================
+
+1) Mark Rivers added support for the Faulhaber MCDC2805 servo controller.
+
+	Files added: the <motor>/motorApp/FaulhaberSrc directory and it's
+	                contents were added.
+
+2) Mark Rivers added support for building the motor record distribution from
+	a win32-x86 host; i.e., MS Visual C++ compiler.  Since the strtok_r()
+	function does not exist on Windows, all calls to strtok_r() have been
+	replaced with calls to epicsStrtok_r(). Numerous files were modified
+	by adding the "epicsShareFunc" declaration to global functions. The
+	epicsStrtok_r() appears in EPICS base beginning with R3.14.8.  Hence,
+	the Mclennan and Newport porting of the motor record distribution are
+	dependent on R3.14.8 and above.
+
+	Files added: 	- RELEASE.win32-x86 in <motor>/configure.
+			- st.cmd.win32 in <motor>/iocBoot/iocWithMPF.
+	Files modified: for epicsStrtok_r();
+			- <motor>/motorApp/MclennanSrc/drvPM304.cc
+			- <motor>/motorApp/NewportSrc/drvMM3000.cc
+			- <motor>/motorApp/NewportSrc/drvMM4000.cc
+
+3) Joe Sullivan added support for Parker Hannifin, Compumotor Division, 6K
+	Series controllers.
+
+	Files added: the <motor>/motorApp/PC6KSrc directory and it's
+	                contents were added.
+
+4) Malcolm Walters (Diamond) contributed bug fixes to motorRecord.cc for;
+	- get_units() returned wrong units for VMAX.
+	- get_graphic_double() and get_control_double() returned incorrect
+	  values for VELO.
+
+5) <motor>/motorApp/Makefile was modified to build everything by default.
+       	This makes integration into synApps easier.  Users can comment out
+	particular directories if they do not want them built.
+
+	File modified: <motor>/motorApp/Makefile
