 Mike I'm starting to use Watcom C++ for OS/2 - now I understand that
 other compilers use a .def file and that Watcom uses a linker file - could
 you please show us how you use Watcom ( I believe you use .def file
 for other compilers and use a "make file" to read and write a Watcom
 linker file out of the .def file) ?  In other words should I always write
 a .def file (all book examples have a .def file) so that when I compile
 under another compiler .........

 Thanks,
