Well, you have quite a few chooses. The following are what is available
at the current time:

        1) Watcom C/C++ 10.0    ($189 Introductory Offer)
        2) Borland for OS/2 1.5 ($189)
        3) GNU                  (Free) (Well, not exactly you have to
                                       download it from some place)
        4) CSet++ First Step    ($89 for CD-ROM version)
