DN>Mike is wrong here. The 11.0b "patch" was released only a
few months ago.
DN>These patches appear about once a year.

The word from Watcom tech support (who I had to beat on for an entire
month to get them to fix a bug in their OS/2 linker) is that the product
is in maintenance mode, there are no new features in development, there
will probably be no more full package updates/patches like 11.0b.

DN>In spite of rumours to the contrary, Watcom C/C++ is still supported, at
DN>least at the 11.x level.

As long as you don't mind telling them exactly what lines of code they
have to add to their source to make things work ;-)

DN>Another nice part about the Watcom compiler is that it can produce 16-bit
DN>code on the odd occasion that you need it.

As well as NT/95 executables (with a linker fix), Win 3.1, Novell NLM's,
DOS apps and more.

DN>Whether you choose IBM or Watcom you will be using quite a decent compiler.
DN>I have both installed here and generally prefer Watcom, largely because of

I like Watcom.  The IDE is pretty limp, but the compilers are generally
pretty good, and the cross platform support is unparalleled.
