Hi David,

Ah OK... Thanks for the tip... So if a Source code I have requires Watcom
10.6 I would be better to stick with the Watcomm series of compilers
then...

 WS> I would imagine you could get third party addons anyway...

 DN> Get the source code, so that you can compile it for whatever

OK that narrows it down then:) Watcomm it is... Thanks for all your
info/help it's muchly appreciated...
