To force WLINK to link your 16bit applications you need to move os2286.lib from
watcom\lib386\os2 to watcom\lib286\os2 and _rename_ it to doscalls.lib. May be
it's a bug in watcom installation program, may be not. I fought this problem
about a year, and only my experementation in copying/moving various files helped
me to win watcom linker :-)
