  This is the second time that you've said this.  It's misleading.

  All of the other C++ compilers apart from Watcom can produce both the
  (B) and (C) style of executables (calling the appropriate C++ RTL DLL
  in each case, of course).

  If I remember correctly : for High C++, you use the -Hdlllib switch;
  for IBM CSet++ you use the -Gd+ switch; and for Borland C++ you link
  with C2I.LIB (in BC++OS2 1.x -- I believe that BC++OS2 2.0 now has a
  compiler switch).
