Faster, more compact code; can produce both 8086 executable and 80386
executable. I used it to run SIMH(386 mode) and now I use it's 8086
mode to compile software derived from SIMH. The only problem is that I
don't have software to make EPROM image that supports Watcom file
format.
I use Watcom C 11 because it is open and free. TC2.01 is free (price)
but it can't handle // style comments or 64 bit long word. TC has a
more convenient IDE. I use TC2.01 to write short test programs.

I met a problem in Watcom C 11.0. I uses wcl
which makes 8086 code.
The code is running on a 386. I got wired result with
printf("%x %x %x ",inportb(H_ADDR2), inportb(H_ADDR1), inportb(H_ADDR0));
but the following code worked as expected,
printf("%x ", inportb(H_ADDR2));
printf("%x ",inportb(H_ADDR1));
printf("%x ", inportb(H_ADDR0));
The hardware is straightforward and unlikely to have problem. I don't
have time to determine the real source of this problem, though.

In general, how is Watcom C 11.0 compared to Turbo C++ 3.0? Am I hurting myself
unnecessarily using Turbo C++?
