+-- Special notes for version 2.4 --
+Version 2.4 is starting a transition to Unicode on OS/2. Warp 4 and 
+later have fairly decent support for UTF-8 via codepage 1208, however 
+there are some known input problems, which shall be worked around
+in future versions.  For English or non-input applications Unicode
+is the recommended version, however for applications that have not 
+been converted to UTF-8 or which are experiencing input problems,
+a non-Unicode version of the DLL is included.
