+Additional hints for OS/2 users:
+
+- if you only have FAT file systems, forget compiling AS rightaway - we
+ need the long filenames and therefore a HPFS file system!
+
+- You need the following Unix tools, ported to OS/2 :
+
+ - 'gzip' and 'tar' to unpack the archive, but you obviously already
+ have managed that ;-)
+
+ - Eberhard Matthes' port of the GNU-C compiler for OS/2. I haven't
+ made personally any attempts with other OS/2 compilers so far, but
+ it might be worth a try.... AS includes already patches for IBM's
+ Visual Age C 3.0 made by Steffen Schuemann <s.schuemann@pobox.com>
+ relative to the original r6 distribution. I couldn't test them
+ myself since I do not have the IBM compiler :-(
+
+ - a make utility to process the Makefile. A port of GNU's make should
+ be perfect.
+
+- Copy 'Makefile.os2' (for emx) resp. 'Makefile.vac' (for IBM Visual Age C)
+ to 'Makefile' .
+
+- If you make a binary distribution, don't forget to include the emx
+ runtime libaries...
