Solaris and winblows).

I still use Watcom C R11, which has the added
advantage
that is more "unix-like". Too bad Watcom (a superior product) flopped
and all developers were forced to use VS C .
-snip-
There's a rumor floating around the OS/2 PDD mailing list, that Watcom C
may be on the verge of being released as open source. That would sure
suit me fine, since my only complaint about the package is an annoying
linker bug which ought to be easy to fix, with source. And the ability to
produce executables for bletcherous GUI OSes w/o leaving the comfort of a
DOS development machine, is a pretty neat feature!
