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
