Hello netters,

  subject says it all! I am out in the market to buy a 386/486 compiler
for my 486; I have heard quite some good comments for the WATCOM compiler;
however, last week a friend of mine (haven't seen him for years) told me
that the execution speed of NDP486 is at quite faster than the WATCOM's
product.
  I would like to hear if anyone of you has used the WATCOM and/or the
MicroWay product any pros/cons; any reference to a PCMagazine/Byte article
is welcome. MUST include: extended VMS compatibility, graphics and screen
libraries. Also, any other related products you are aware of and/or suggestions
are welcome. PLEASE, no suggestion on using f2c/djgpp for FORTRAN programming.

  Thank you very much,

PS: responses via e-mail or news are both fine. I will summarize if there is
    sufficient interest.
