++ I have verified with patchlevel 37, that the OS/2 port compiles,
+ after doing two minor changes. HPFS filenames support was also added.
+ Some bugs were fixed.
++ To compile,
+ - you need the bison parser generator
+ - copy config.h from os2 into the main perl directory (important !)
+ - copy perl.cs and perlglob.cs from the os2 subdir to the main dir
+ - copy a2p.cs from os2 to x2p
+ - say "bison -d perl.y"
+ "ren perl_tab.c perl.c" and
+ "ren perl_tab.h perly.h" in the main directory
+ - say "cs perl" and
+ "cs perlglob" in the main directory
+ - say "cs a2p" in the x2p subdir
++ If you don't have CS or don't want to use it, you have to
+ construct a makefile ...
++ If you have GNU gdbm, you can define NDBM in config.h and link with a
+ large model library of gdbm.
++ I am not shure if I can verify the OS/2 port with each release
+ from Larry Wall. Therefore, in future releases there may be
+ changes required to compile perl for OS/2.
