Yes, it does.

No, I don't want to remove your "quick fix" code primarily.  Primarily
I want to not have to create a prototype (...) to force Watcom to pass
things on the stack, I want a compiler option.  I have RTFM but I
didn't see any option.  Also, the discussion on "assembler" in Watcom
says "we don't teach you assembler", so you can't find out what all
the constructs usage are!  BTW, I bought the CDROM version of Watcom,
which doesn't come with printed manuals, for a cost of around $300.
For that price you get 16-bit DOS, 16-bit OS/2, 16-bit Windows,
32-bit DOS, 32-bit OS/2, 32-bit Windows, 32-bit Windows-NT.  BFN.  Paul.
