Some senseless babbling from Wayne Steele to All
on 19 Nov 98  08:38:32 about OS/2 C++ Programming?...

 WS> Hi All,

 WS> I wouldn't have a clue what I need for programming C++ for OS/2 but
 WS> I'm willing to learn somehow...

A brain, a book, and a compiler will do.

 WS> I have a source code for a BBS package and I need a compiler for it...
 WS> Is there any FREEWARE or SHAREWARE compilers around?

The EMX package is a free port of the GNU C compiler.

 WS> If not does Watcom 10.x or 11.x series compile OS/2 executables?

Yes, but the product is no longer being updated.  I personally use 
VisualAge C++ from IBM, which I picked up via auction for $91.  Normally, 
it's something like $350 or so.  Version 4.0 is soon to be out, with 
version for OS/2, AIX, and WinNT/95.
