If the Watcom 11.0c compiler is for C of C++ then there is another problem. I'm among the few
(several?) that does not write (and understands only a little) C or C++. That may be the biggest
hurdle. Besides C, C++, and Assembler what other languages does it make sense to use for devise
drivers?

I can read what you wrote but since I don't know the relationship between Linux and OS/2 drivers I
don't understand what you mean by "see the drivers ... Netlabs".
