+ * We have converted to using the !OpenWatcom OS/2 Toolkit. Ensure that your build environment has paths to the !OpenWatcom Toolkit ahead of those for IBM's Toolkit. (The IBM Toolkit is on your eComStation CD#2 and you may want a copy of the IBM Toolkit installed for the documentation included in it.)
