I think what he means is that there are more native-windows utilities than
for os/2.  For example,  there is a Windows text editor included with the
compiler,  but not an os/2 one.

Watcom DOES document, admit to, and fix their bugs (and there aren't very
many) for free.  You can download the pacthes (current ver is 10.0a: type
WCC386 to see ver number (wcl386 just says "10.0")) from their
bbs, or call their tech support and they will send you the diskettes - NO
CHARGE!
