HELP! My WATCOM C/C++ setup is not quite right. Any help would be muchly
appreciated.

I'm trying to learn C/C++ and to use the WATCOM download package. I'm
trying to create a sample 32bit OS/2 program, using the
C:\WATCOM\SRC\hello.c file and the linker. This is a sample exercise in
the Watcom C/C++ Programmer's Guide. Following the example in the guide
I entered the following into a commandline in the C:\WATCOM\SRC
subdirectory:

wcl386 /l=os2v2 hello.c

All I got was a ton of errors. I captured the log output of the linker
and put it in the attached file, LinkResult.TXT. The following is just a
few lines from that file:

It goes on with many more errors.

I should not get any errors by linking a sample WATCOM file. Anybody got
any ideas as to what's wrong? Thanks for your help.
