Hi Lewin!

 LE> Have you used Watcom C++ ? 
Yes, I did ! Watcom was the other alternative. Watcom might be the better
choice if you're thinking about a port of your application on another
platform like Win. But it can't beat VAC++ in OS/2 and OS/2-technology
support. IBM will always be able to put out support for the new features in
OS/2 before all other compiler makers. 
And as time and code passes by, I really appreciate IBM's Debugger now.
It's simply great ! 
BTW: NeoN Graphics is compiled with Watcom C - and it's blazingly fast :)
