   I don't believe a separate compiler will be required.
   Watcom should be able to compile C code just fine.
   There may be a switch or setup variable necessary to
   distinguish between C and C++ source code.
   most compilers use a .C extension for C programs and a
   .CPP extension for C++ programs, and the compiler knows
   what to do with the code based on the file extension.
   I would not be surprised to find that Watcom does the same.
