That should be os2286.lib and you do have it.

Yes, some are 16-bit protected mode. 32-bit drivers are possible too, but
not a prevalent.

>drivers. True??

Yes.

Since you intend to develop drivers, you should looks at the DDK samples
that use Watcom. Hint: search the makefiles in the DDK source tree for
the word watcom. :-)

In addition you should install CVS and get a copy of the drivers developed
by Netlabs. These all use Watcom. Look at the Sander's sblive driver and
Timur's WarpDriver.

To install CVS, get the latest version of CVS from Hobbes and use Rollin's
install guide (search SCOUG for CVS). See www.netlabs.org for access
instructions (or ask me ).
