Thanks for posting this, it pretty interesting reading since I just
purchased Watcom.  I had a couple of suggestions, though.

How about phone numbers for contacts?  To start you off, here's the number
I used for Watcom: 1-800-265-4555.  I also wish you had price ranges on all
the products and the student pricing (if available).  I realize prices are
different everywhere (especially from where you and I are located), but a
range of prices would be kind of nice.  Watcom is $199 normally and $99 for
the student version.

Does this mean I can't program for Warp, or is there a patch available?

Will I not be able to use C-Libraries and such that I find on the boards
because of this?

That's the truth!!  Watcom wanted $119 for them.

Thanks again for the post.  Some people on the Internet newsgroup wanted
this posted, but I don't think I ever saw it there.  I hope you do post it
there.
