Ironic is that it came with the DevCon beta pile, amybe even as a beta
version, and was not available to purchase as a product toolkit of its
own. Who is lying?

Watcom isn't the IBM compiler. The IBM compiler is VAC++. Besides, I
thought Watcom stopped developing for OS/2.

;) I'll laught at you when you get the bug reports that don't happen on
your machine and when IBM asks you to pay $200 to talk to you. :) You
are asking for trouble, and you will probably get it too.
