Well, not completely correct, I fear.
My company are currently developing a multiplatform product, and even if
Watcom is a multiplatform compiler it is not really a cross-platform
developing tool.

You can compile programs for DOS, Win[3.1|95], NT and OS/2. But you cannot
simply recompile the same source (except for obvious DOS and OS/2 command
line programs).

If you want a real cross platform developing system, you have to use something
as ZINC, which we are currently using (along with Watcom and SunOS compilers)
to write a single-source application on Windows95, OS/2 and Sun systems.
