    Hi

    I recently compiled the 1.0.3 sources under OS/2 (with mixed results -
    doesn't work with my SnapScan 1236s).

    The process is far from automatic. I had to edit config.h several times,
    plus some of the Makefiles, plus the recursive make didn't work, so I
    had to go from directory to directory doing makes.

    Regards
    Paul
