Ok, so I got bored and I never really liked that program anyway. I hacked up
a simple UPS info-getter program from various other sources, you can fetch 
the source from http://zippy/software/upsinfo.c

Sample output from my APC BK500 is :

Found UPS at /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0
Manufacturer: American Power Conversion
Model: Back-UPS 500 FW: 6.1.D USB FW: c1 
Serial #: ABXXXXXXXX61
Battery Manufacture date: 2001-02-06 (10822)
Battery Capacity: 100%
Battery Runtime: 1080
Battery Voltage: 13.5
UPS State: On line

This has only been tested against my one UPS, YMMV. I don't think this can
blow anything up, but who knows.
