A creature called Art Kim screamed at All:

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