That will work, but it is more convoluted than you need.  All you have to
do is tell the linker to use the \watcom\lib286\os2\os2286.lib file, and it
will figure out all the rest.  There is an option in the Watcom IDE to tell
the linker to use an additional library file, or you can edit the MAKEFILE
in a fairly obvious way.
