PC>I wanted to get Watcom, but BCOS2 for $99 was too good to pass up!  I have

The problem is that BCOS2 has not been receiving much in the way of
favourable comment on the internet recently.  Most admit that it's
"okay" for casual programming but definitely *not* the compiler for
serious development work.  Perhaps this explains why Borland haven't
developed any other apps for OS/2 recently ... it would be embarassing
to have to use someone elses compiler (although IBM *and* Microsoft have
both used competitors compilers to build their products from time to
time).
