+Invocation instructions:
+
+0. check for existence of recorded files in directory, e.g. examples/pduLog/Pdusave.dislog
+1. run or debug PduReaderPlayer.java
+2. send PDUs from another program such as AllPduSender.java (used here)
+3. also running AllPduReceiver can confirm that DIS replay actually occurs.
+4. Type p/enter to pause, r/enter to resume, q/enter to quit
