12Epos may happen to compile under various versions of Watcom, Microsoft and Borland
13compilers, as well as gcc and egcs ports. If you ever need to use
14another C++ compiler, you should know that
15
16- most of the .cc files as listed in SRC_BASE in Makefile.am
17  (possibly renamed to .cpp) can be compiled separately
18  using Borland makefiles (epos.bpr and say.bpr): "make -fepos.bpr"
19  but you may want to compile them together, using any compiler
20  and epos.cpp in this directory
21- the compiler should support templates, exception handling etc.
22- int type size must be at least 32 bits
23- warnings can usually be ignored, the compilers mentioned just happen
24  to have different aesthetic feelings than we have
25- I'd guess GNU C++ (g++) might be the best choice, if you have access to it.
26- as my development environment is linux/gcc, you may have some compilation
27  problems under DOS, both great and small. Don't think I cross-test every
28  patch I hack in.

30I will appreciate any reports of successful or unsuccessful compilation
31attempts under non-UNIX operating systems.
