subject: Watcom to make PM apps

-=> Quoting Darin McBride to Phil Crown <=- 

 DM> I tried Borland 1.5 for OS/2 for about 30 minutes.  That's what
 DM> convinced me of going to Watcom.

I found and installed Borland's stack probe fix patch and my problems
are gone, so I'm sticking with Borland as long as I can work around the
bugs.

 PC> So I'm considering Watcom as my compiler now.

 DM> If you're a student, it's nice and cheap.  It's also, as far as
 DM> compiling text mode goes anyway, relatively quick on the compile.  It
 DM> also lacks a decent editor, and finding a syntax-hilighting editor is
 DM> a problem - EPM 6.x, amongst very few others, can do this.  The only
 DM> reason I keep Borland on my HD?  PRINTING in colour.  ;-) 

If you're doing PM apps, Borland's Resource Workshop is very nice for
creating dialogs too.
