Watcom comes with full on-line manuals.  If you want the paperversions, you
can buy them for extra money.  It does not quite double the price of the
compiler, but it is well over US$100 for the paper manuals.

However, I can't say that I have felt the need for the paper manuals, and I
usually hate on-line manuals.  The manuals for the Watcom compiler are
mostly standard references for the C/C++ run-time libraries that any
experienced programmer would know, and some short reference manuals on the
Watcom tools.  There is nothing like a tutorial on C/C++ programming with
Watcom, although you have an option to get Stroustrup's "The C++
Programming Language" or not when you buy the paper manual set.
