after 5.003_07:
	custom tmpfile and tmpname which may use $TMP, $TEMP.
	all the calls to OS/2 API wrapped so that it is safe to use
		them under DOS (may die(), though).
	Tested that popen works under DOS with modified PDKSH and RSX.
	File::Copy works under DOS.
	MakeMaker modified to work under DOS (perlmain.c.tmp and sh -c true).

after 5.003_08:
	OS2::PrfDB exports symbols as documented;
	should work on OS/2 2.1 again.
	uses reliable signals when spawing.
	do not use popen() any more - no intermediate shell unless needed.

after 5.003_11:
	Functions emx_{malloc,realloc,calloc,free} are exported from DLL.
	get_sysinfo() bugs corrected (flags were not used and wrongly defined).

after 5.003_20:
	_isterm is substituted instead of isatty, s?random instead of srand.
	`register' disabled if -DDEBUGGING and not AOUT build: stupid SD386.
	3-argument select() was stomping over memory.

after 5.003_21:
	Can start scripts by executing 'dir/script' and
	'script.sh'. Form without extension will call shell only if
	the specified file exists (will not look on path) (to prohibit
	trying to run shell commands directly). - Needed by magic.t.

after 5.003_27:
	ALTERNATE_SHEBANG="extproc " supported, thus options on this
	line are processed (possibly twice). -S is made legal on such
	a line. This -S -x is not needed any more.
	perl.dll may be used from non-EMX programs (via PERL_SYS_INIT
	- the caller should have valid variable "env" with
	environment). Known problems: $$ does not work - is 0, waitpid
	returns immediately, thus Perl cannot wait for completion of
	started programs.

after 5.004_01:
	flock emulation added (disable by setting env PERL_USE_FLOCK=0),
		thanks to Rocco Caputo;
	RSX bug with missing waitpid circomvented;
	-S bug with full path with \ corrected.

before 5.004_02:
	-S switch to perl enables a search with additional extensions 
	.cmd, .btm, .bat, .pl as well.  This means that if you have
	mycmd.pl or mycmd.bat on PATH, 
		perl -S mycmd
	will work.  Perl will also look in the current directory first.
	Moreover, a bug with \; in PATH being non-separator is fixed.

after 5.004_03:
	$^E tracks calls to CRT now.  (May break if Perl masks some
	changes to errno?)
	$0 may be edited to longer lengths (at least under OS/2).
	OS2::REXX->loads looks in the OS/2-ish fashion too.

after 5.004_04:
	Default perl.exe was built with a shorter stack than expected.
	Strip extensions DLLs too (unless debugging build).
	./os2.c being RO could stop cp.
	When starting scripts, Perl will find them on path (using the same
	  extensions as for -S command-line switch).  If it finds magic
	  `extproc ' or `#!' cookies, it will start the scripts directly.
	May use `cmd /c more <' as a pager.
	If a program could not be started, this might have been hidden.
	End of pipe was closed twice when `open'ing a pipeline.

after 5.004_53:
	Minimal thread support added.  One needs to manually move pthread.h

after 5.004_64:
	Make DLL names different if thread-enabled.
	Emit more informative internal DLL descriptions.

5.004_72:
	Updated OS2::Process (v0.2) included.
	
after 5.004_73:
	Fixed a bug with argv not NULL-terminated when starting scripts.
	Support all the forms of starting scripts.
	Support killing a child when receiving a signal during system()
	(in two stage, on first send the same signal, on the next
	send SIGKILL).
	Add the same logic for scripts as in pdksh, including 
		stripping the path from #! line if needed, 
		calling EXECSHELL or COMSPEC for magic-less scripts;
	Now pdksh is called only if one-arg system()/friends contains
	metachars, or if magic-line asks for sh, or there is no magic
	line and EXECSHELL is set to sh.
	Shell is supplied the original command line if possible.

after 5.005_02:
	Can start PM programs from non-PM sessions by plain system()
		and friends.  Can start DOS/Win programs.  Can start
		fullscreen programs from non-fullscreen sessions too.
	In fact system(P_PM,...) was broken.
	We mangle the name of perl*.DLL, to allow coexistence of different
		versions of Perl executables on the system.  Mangling of
		names of extension DLL is also changed, thus running two
		different versions of the executable with loaded
		extensions should not lead to conflicts (since 
		extension-full-name and Perl-version mangling work in the 
		same set ot 576 possible keys, this may lead to clashes).
	$^E was reset on the second read, and contained ".\r\n" at the end.

after 5.005_53:
	Would segfault system()ing non-existing program;
	AOUT build was hosed;
	warning-test for getpriority() might lock the system hard on 
		pre-fixpak22 configuration (calling getpriority() on 
		non-existing process triggers a system-wide bug).


	PrfDB was using a bug in processing XSUBs returning U32.

	Variable $OS2::emx_rev implemented (string and numberic values
		are the same as C variables _emx_rev and _emx_vprt).
	Variable $OS2::emx_env implemented (same as C variable _emx_env).
	Variable $OS2::os_ver implemented (_osmajor + 0.001 * _osminor).

	Improved centralized management of HAB and HMQ.  To get Perl's
		HAB, call perl_hab_GET().  (After the initial call one
		can use Perl_hab instead.)  To require Perl's HMQ,
		call perl_hmq_GET(), to release it call perl_hmq_UNSET(),
		to obtain it between these calls use Perl_hmq.
	HMQ management is refcounted, and the program will morph
		itself into/from PM if required.
	If perl.h cannot be included, hab may be obtained by Perl_hab_GET().

	New function OS2::Error(do_harderror,do_exception).  Returns
		undef if it was not called yet, otherwise bit 1 is
		set if on previous call do_harderror was enabled, bit
		2 is set if if on previous call do_exception was enabled.
	This function enables/disables error popups associated with 
		hardware errors (Disk not ready etc.) and software exceptions.

	New function OS2::Errors2Drive(drive).  Returns undef if it was 
		not called yet, otherwise return false if Errors were
		not requested to be written to a hard drive, or the
		drive letter if this was requested.
	This function may redirect error popups associated with 
		hardware errors (Disk not ready etc.) and software exceptions
		to the file POPUPLOG.OS2 at the root directory of the
		specified drive.  Overrides OS2::Error() specified by 
		individual programs.  Given argument undef will
		disable redirection.  Has global effect, persists
		after the application exits.

	New function OS2::SysInfo().  Returns a hash with system information.
		The keys of the hash are

		MAX_PATH_LENGTH, MAX_TEXT_SESSIONS, MAX_PM_SESSIONS,
		MAX_VDM_SESSIONS, BOOT_DRIVE, DYN_PRI_VARIATION,
		MAX_WAIT, MIN_SLICE, MAX_SLICE, PAGE_SIZE,
		VERSION_MAJOR, VERSION_MINOR, VERSION_REVISION,
		MS_COUNT, TIME_LOW, TIME_HIGH, TOTPHYSMEM, TOTRESMEM,
		TOTAVAILMEM, MAXPRMEM, MAXSHMEM, TIMER_INTERVAL,
		MAX_COMP_LENGTH, FOREGROUND_FS_SESSION,
		FOREGROUND_PROCESS

	New function OS2::BootDrive(force).  Returns a letter without colon.

	New functions OS2::MorphPM(serve)/OS2::UnMorphPM(serve).  Transforms
		the current application into a PM application and back.
		The argument true means that a real message loop is
		going to be performed.
	OS2::MorphPM() returns the PM message queue handle as an integer.

	New function OS2::Serve_Messages(force).  Fake on-demand
		retrieval of outstanding PM messages.  If force is false,
		will not dispatch messages if a real message loop is known to
		be present.  Returns number of messages retrieved.
	Dies with "QUITing..." if WM_QUIT message is obtained.

	New function OS2::Process_Messages(force [, cnt]).  Retrieval
		of PM messages until window creation/destruction.  
		If force is false, will not dispatch messages 
		if a real message loop is known to be present.  
		Returns change in number of windows.  If cnt is given,
		it is incremented by the number of messages retrieved.
	Dies with "QUITing..." if WM_QUIT message is obtained.

after 5.005_54:
 	Opening pipes from/to processes could fail if (un)appropriate
 	combination of STDIN/STDOUT was closed.
 
 	If the only shell-metachars of a command are ' 2>&1' at the
 	end of a command, it is executed without calling the external shell.

after 5.005_57:
	Make UDP sockets return correct caller address (OS2 API bug);
	Enable TCPIPV4 defines (works with Warp 3 IAK too?!);
	Force Unix-domain sockets to start with "/socket", convert
	  '/' to '\' in the calls;
	Make C<system 1, $cmd> to treat $cmd as in C<system $cmd>;
	Autopatch Configure;
	Find name and location of g[nu]patch.exe;
	Autocopy perl????.dll to t/ when testing;

after 5.005_62:
	Extract a lightweight DLL access module OS2::DLL from OS2::REXX
	   which would not load REXX runtime system;
	Allow compile with os2.h which loads os2tk.h instead of os2emx.h;
	Put the version of EMX CRTL into -D define;
	Use _setsyserror() to store last error of OS/2 API for $^E;
	New macro PERL_SYS_INIT3(argvp, argcp, envp);
	Make Dynaloader return info on the failing module after failed dl_open();
	OS2::REXX test were done for interactive testing (were writing
	  "ok" to stderr);
	system() and friends return -1 on failure (was 0xFF00);
	Put the full name of executable into $^X
	  (alas, uppercased - but with /);
	t/io/fs.t was failing on HPFS386;
	Remove extra ';' from defines for MQ operations.
