Yes.

I have recently purchased Watcom C/C++ v10.6, and am quite pleased with
the versatility and numerous libraries.  What I don't like about it is
the mannor in which the help files are organised.  Books would be much
better, but Watcom does not include them in the release;  They cost
extra.

I have never before programmed OS/2 PM apps, but am slowly learning to
do so using Watcom C/C++.  So far, I have not needed to locate any 
libraries from other sources, but have needed additional instruction
from other willing OS/2 PM programmers.  (thank you all)

Watcom does use quite a lot of hard disk space if you install everything
(about 400MB). If you can run it from the CD, the installation adds to
your PATH= statement, and adds paths on the CD, so if you don't have the
CD in the drive, you will get a lot of path error messages while using
other aspects of OS/2.  (quite annoying, that's why I installed to the
hard disk)


Hope that helps.
