+ This port requires IBM C/C++ and the IBM TCPIP library. It
+has probably only been tested with the CVS client. Local CVS might or
+might not work, and the server would definitely not work. You'll need
+to edit the makefile to reflect your system's paths (unless you're our
+customer for this port, in which case the paths are correct because we
+did the port on your machine. :-) ). You also may need to comment out
+the "Makefile" rule in emx/Makefile to avoid a complaint about
+../config.status not existing. You also might need to edit srcdir to
+be "." and top_srcdir to be "..".
+
+ That should be all -- edit the makefile, do "make" and get
+os2\cvs.exe. Assuming you have edited the `install_dir' variable in
+the Makefile, you may type "make install-cvs" to put cvs.exe in the
+right place.
+
+ If the makefile has linefeeds only at the end of lines, make
+(at least the port of GNU make that I have) will interpret it
+differently. This is (IMHO) a bizarre behavior, but you need to
+convert the linefeeds to CRLF pairs (editing the file with an editor
+such as emacs will generally do this).
+
+ There are two compiler warnings in os2/popen.c which we haven't
+figured out the cause of. Other than that there probably aren't a whole
+lot of warnings (but there might be a few).
+Report bugs to <bug-cvs@nongnu.org>.

+
+Some notes on the watcom port:
+------------------------------
+
+You need the OS/2 TCPIP developers toolkit to translate the sources.
+This is not as bad as it sounds, since the toolkit is on your OS/2
+CD.
+
+To compile the sources, enter
+
+ wmake -f watcom.mak
+
+at the OS/2 prompt.
+
+The executable created by the watcom compiler does *not* need a runtime
+DLL.
