Subject:	SCOUG-General: Open Watcom Released by SciTech

Content Type: text/plain

From my OS/2 colleague Rick Curry:

For anyone who does not remember them, Watcom provided a compiler
which ran on multiple operating systems and produced cross-platform
executables. The version I purchased a few years back is one of the
few remaining tools which will build a TSR. And this package also
apparently includes Fortran (you probably won't be building any TSRs
with that!)

and from the openwatcom.org website:

Multiple Platforms In A Single Package

Open Watcom C/C++ and Fortran supports a wide range of host and target
platforms including Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT/2000/XP, OS/2, extended
DOS and Novell Netware. This impressive platform support is amplified
by the powerful cross-platform capabilities of the integrated development
environment (IDE) and tools, which enable building applications for a
wide range of target environments from any of the host systems.

For example, from Windows XP you can build and debug Windows 98,
32-bit DOS and 32-bit OS/2 applications, in addition to Windows XP
applications. This extensive cross-platform support helps you to
exploit the capabilities of your host platform.
