subject: Borland Turbo C++ in OS/2.

AK>         Hi!  Curious if somebody could tell me what DOS
 AK> session setting need to be modified for Borland Turbo C++
 AK> v3.0 to run in OS/2 Warp.  Being pretty new to programming,
 AK> could somebody brief me on Watcom C++ and why a salesperson
 AK> recommended purchasing it and not Borland C++ v4.0?  Also
 AK> curious how much $ it cost.

 MS>    Simple.  Watcom C/C++ is a multiplatform compiler, 
 MS> it will make EXE's for Dos, Dos 32bit, Win, Win32s, 
 MS> WinNT, OS/2, and a bunch of other stuff I'll never use. 
 MS>  It has Dos, Windoze and OS/2 envronments.  BC 4.0 has 
 MS> compilers for Dos and Windoze, and a Windoze 
 MS> envronment.  You can't make OS/2 programs on BC 4.0.  
 MS> And Watcom is a better compiler, making smaller, faster 
 MS> code.
 MS>    I bought my copy of Watcom C/C++ 10.0 from Indellible Blue for $189 US.

Sound good.  Curious, how much HD space Watcom takes?  Indellible Blue? 
May I have the phone #?

Thanks!
