I have just gotten some info about Watcom Fortran and was interested in 
hearing from someone who actually has it.  

The biggest concern is documentation.  In the info I have it list:

Windows Programming Guide
Dos        "          "
Video User's Guide
Linker User's Guide
Language Reference
Graphics Library Reference
Online Help

Nowhere does it mention OS/2 Programming Guide.  It does talk about OS/2
programming, i.e. it can be used for that, but does not indicate what kind
of information is provided.

I'm mainly getting it for the purpose of faster 32-bit codes.  I like the
idea of being able to run some simple Euler codes and grid generation at
home for debugging and such.(CFD)  But, I would also like to play around with 
the OS/2 programming for PM or WPS.(my terminology for OS/2 is all screwed up
right now)

Does anyone have a small sample of code that they've done where they open
up a window when you click on the icon, and in the window are some menu options
like 'open', 'print', etc. that they could email me.  I don't care about
any full length code, just an example of how it would be done if I decide
to buy Watcom Fortran.(or sample code that comes with the compiler would be
o.k. if it is not infringing on copyrights or anything, it would help sell one
of their compilers in all likely hood.)

Also, what kind of speed up could I expect going from MS's fortran to Watcom's?


Thanks for any insight.
