Ironic how you like to call everyone else a liar, but cannot tell the
truth yourself. Even more ironic is the fact that I just installed the
latest toolkit a few days ago after resubscribing to DevCon. It
definitely did not come with my compiler, Watcom 10.0b. Maybe I'll
upgrade my copy of Watcom some day, if they ever get their act together
enough to make me care. Funny, though, how they at least had enough
common sense to call their linker "wlink" and getting around the problem
you just described. Better yet, I can still use emx whenever the mood
strikes me.
>Online where? Internet or Warp4 installation?
If you had subscribed to DevCon, you'd know the answer. Of course, you
probably only would want to put out the money if you are a serious
developer. I take that back, I'm not a "professional" programmer, and I
paid for it. Then again, I did let the subscription lapse for a few
months. After all, do I really need to update it _every_ quarter? I
suppose I would if I were getting paid for it. However, I still find it
a worthwhile investment. I'm even getting into PM programming now, and
I'll probably have my first freeware PM program out in a couple of
months.
Of course, you could have just read his post and you could have answered
your own question.
