I really like the feel of Borland Turbo C++.  Is Watcom as nice to user?

Curious if you could tell me what are the latest versions of Borland's
compilers and Watcom.  How much does the OS/2 Borland compiler cost?

Heh.. okie dokie, I've only been programming with C in DOS for the last few
months now and it gets pretty challenging too :-D.

Thanks for the reply!
