  One of my most pleasing achievements of late is a complete SOM class
  library for PM, that I wrote and compiled into a DLL using MetaWare
  High C++ 3.32 for OS/2 and DirectToSOM C++.

  What is particularly pleasing is that it is the first medium-scale DTS
  C++ class library that I have implemented for use with multiple
  compilers.  By the simple expedient of #including the header file and
  linking to the import library for the DLL I can also use the library
  in applications compiled with IBM VisualAge C++ 3.01.

  DTS C++ compares very well in this respect with the "normal" state of
  affairs with C++, where I would have to recompile the entire library
  for each C++ compiler that I wished to use.  My class library is
  implemened in MetaWare High C++, and doesn't require any recompilation
  or relinking to be used from IBM VisualAge C++.

  Although I'm not greatly bothered by it personally, for the sake of
  many others I do hope that Watcom sees the light soon, and adds
  DirectToSOM C++ ability to its C++ compiler as well.
