I got a note from Watcom via email that had the following statement in it.

------

Please note:
As of V9.0 B-level, the DOS/4GW extender shipped with WATCOM C/386
no longer ignores physical memory beyond the 16 MB mark.  Therefore,
DOS/4GW should be able to take advantage of all available RAM.

Sorry to misrepresent Watcom's capabilities.  I haven't really kept up with
them as well as I should have.
