Open Watcom is a joint effort between SciTech Software, Sybase®, and a select team of developers, which will bring the Sybase Watcom C/C++ and Fortran compiler products to the Open Source community.

The Open Watcom core team has already created a binary patch update release (11.0c) targeted at existing Watcom C/C++ and Fortran customers.

Once the core team completes removal of all non-Sybase code from the Watcom compilers, the source code will be released on this web site, so that any developer will be able to freely use and modify it.
