Watcom produces 32 bit apps for Windows - it comes with a DLL that interfaces
the 32 bit app to the 16 bit Windows API.

Watcom has memory models as well - 

	The small model uses near pointers (32 bit) to reference the data.
	All referances are with respect to the DS segment. Hence in a small
	model all the data in your program must be less then 4GB. :-)
