 ET> What compilers for C/C++ are available for OS/2?  I recently
 ET> upgraded from Win95 to OS/2 Warp Connect, and would like to port
 ET> some of my C/C++ code.  Thanks for any help.

 MR> not much help here, but I am looking for the very same thing, and
 MR> found Watcom to be a likely candidate (as far as I've heard also the
 MR> only compiler whose Dos version accepts pmode assembler), and there's
 MR> also the GNU C Compiler for OS/2, but that didn't seem to work here
 MR> (maybe a newer version? I used version 2.something) There's also a Dos

        The latest version of EMX/GCC is 09b with fix 03.  It can be
found at hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/unix/emx09b.  And it works fine with my
OS/2 Warp (not connect) with fixpax #17.

        Also, to help the task of converting Win95 code to OS/2, get the
DEVCON CDs.  You could email to devcon{at}vnet.ibm.com for the phone number, or
go to www.ibm.com and find your way to the devcon page
(maybe www.ibm.com/developer/devcon).  The reason for getting the DEVCON
CDs is that it contains the OS/2 toolkit (API documentation, ipfc.exe,
som.exe) as well as other gooddies.  One of these gooddies is SMART (I
think that's the name);  a program that ports Win95 code to OS/2.  However,
you might also be able to get it from IBM's web site (or it may only be
information about it, I don't know).
