 Information about GPutils for eComStation (OS/2)
 ================================================

 This binary distribution of GPUTILS for eComStation (OS/2) has been
 built with Open Watcom C/C++ compiler. The executables are provided
 with a 'bldlevel' signature and have been compressed with LXLite.


 Building information
 --------------------
 The makefiles for Wmake are included (unZIP package with -dir option!).
 Rexx scripts 'buildlevel.cmd' (called by the makefiles) to generate the
 bldlevel signatures are included too.
 Compilation of some modules generate warnings which can be ignored:
   - missing prototype for 'unlink', which is defined in 'io.h' for the
     Watcom compiler.
   - some functions are redefined (duplicate prototypes),


 Issues
 ------
 - vsnprintf.c requires unconditionally config.h (normally created by
   autoconf/automake, received example from David Barnett). With this
   config.h vsnprintf in libiberty.lib GPASM traps. When leaving it
   out no trap and no link errors!
