I have been testing the 1.12 pre-release. In terms of the setup, I found
that there is no sample GO32 environment variable. This could probably
result in large numbers of newbie questions.

I also found that strange things happened when using libg++. The
following program (compiled with gcc -Wall test.cc -lgpp -lm)

#include <_string.h>

int main()
{
	String s = "Hello, world";
	cout << s << endl;
	return 0;
}

gives a HUGE list of warnings ....
