Do you play computer games ? Most DOS games, upon a startup display a
message like:
DOS/4GW Protected Mode Run-time Version 1.97
Copyright (c) Rational Systems, Inc. 1990-1994
This indicates that the game was probably written in Watcom C/C++.
JK>I need a good DOS based C++ compiler, borland gave up around version 3.0,
JK>which is what I use for my dos development.  Does Watcom perhaps offer a
JK>C++ compiler for DOS? more developed that turbo C++ 3.0?  Or did watcomm
JK>sell out to gates as well?
Watcom C/C++ is a multi-platform compiler. It will compile programs for:
        Windows 3.x/95/NT
        DOS 16-bit,32-bit (extended dos)
        AutoCAD ADS
        Novell Netware NLM
        OS/2
BTW I use version 10.6 of Watcom C to develop for 32-bit Dos & Windows
DLL's.
