Watcom doesn't support Unix.

Do you say the same thing about OS/2?  It supports OS/2, DOS, and
Windows, as well as most real mode operating systems (in a VMB), like
Minix, CP/M, etc.

In fact, Watcom is an excellent optimizing compiler, in most respects
comparable if not superior to EMX/GCC, CSet++, and Borland C/C++ for
OS/2.
