If it was b&s, they didn't do a very good job at it.  If they hadn't given
me the wrong information the first time I called, I would not have called
IBM Direct, and then called them back to order anything.  It wasn't until
the second call that they mentioned BCOS2.
 
 PC> A compiler with docs, examples, step trace debugger, ahh, I can't wait. :-)

 SL> Hope it works for you. I wouldn't care for it, myself. Others like it,
 SL> though. 

I wanted to get Watcom, but BCOS2 for $99 was too good to pass up!  I have
been using Borland's Turbo C++ v3.0 for DOS, and now EMX 0.9a patch level 4.

btw, how much disk space does Borland C for OS/2 require?
