    Incorrect.  First of all there are no problems with the WC compiler and
OS/2 WARP, neither as host-system nor as target system.  And it will do
RELEASE level of Windows 95 (not an issue here anyhow) and it will also do
OS/2 16-bit.

     What is the "Watcom editor" you are refering to?  As far as
I know there is no such editor for OS/2 (unless you refer to VI!!!?).

     The "standard" package doesn't include any printed manuals
either, only on-line (printed manuals available separately).  The on-line
references includes the standard Toolkit-documentation, some general
compiler tool help and C library references.
