subject: Watcom vs Visual Age C++

Hello I'm just learning to program in C++ (I know basic, C), and I was wondering

which compiler is the best for OS/2 programing.( and now you will say "but best

is different for everyone").  I currently have the EMX compiler, but i don't 

like it.  I have a 486 DX4-100 16Mb Ram. I was considering either Watcom 10.5 or

Visual Age (latest version).  I need to know:

- What is the latest version of Visual Age

- What is the memory requirements for Watcom and VA



I need to also know which compiler YOU prefer(if you use either of them, or 

another one).  I am probably going to do PM programing.  If i got watcom I

may do other platform work but it is not of high priority.  



thank you

Brendan
