+  8 character DLL name length limit forced by the OS/2 kernel loader.
+
+  This rename operation is transparent to all Java applications except a few
+  cases which involve custom agent libraries used to enhance the functionality
+  of JDK or JVM. These libraries in particular include:
+
+  Original Name            New Name
+  --------------------------------------------
+  hprof.dll                jhprof.dll
+  dt_shmem.dll             jdtshmem.dll
+  dt_socket.dll            jdtsock.dll
+
+  In order to use the renamed libraries, you need to substitute the old name
+  with the new name wherever the old name is used in Java documentation,
+  configuration files or command line options. For example, to use the profiler
+  library, you will have to write "-agentlib:jhprof.dll" on the command line
+  instead of "-agentlib:hprof.dll" and so on.
