Keeping ESSL 3.1.2 POWER2 Libraries and C++ application programs.

If you don't have POWER2 processors or if you don't link ESSL 3.1.2 POWER2 
Libraries with your C++ application program, ignore this section.

If you have POWER2 processors and link the ESSL 3.1.2 POWER2 libraries with 
your C++ application program, note that the ESSL header file, 
/usr/include/essl.h, provided in this release is not compatible with the 
ESSL 3.1.2 header file. See Chapter 6 in the "ESSL for AIX Version 3 Release 3 
Guide and Reference", SA22-7272-04, for details. Contact IBM service if you 
need a copy of  the ESSL 3.1.2 header file. To run the C++ IVPs for the library 
options esslp2 and esslp2_r, in addition to the steps given in 
"Chapter2:Keeping ESSL 3.1.2 POWER2 Libraries", in the "ESSL for AIX Version 3 
Release 3 Installation Memo", modify the following line in esvcivp.C so that
the ESSL 3.1.2 header file is included.  

               #include <essl.h>
