Unless things have changed in 10.5 (primarily a release for the Windows
folks), the two language books (for C and C++) are not included in the
on=line manual.  The C++ book a reprint of Bjarne Stroustrup's "The C++
Programming Language."  It is the second edition and available at most
bookstores.  The C book is "Watcom C Language Reference" and is
hopefully available from Watcom separately - it is particularly important
if you're programming in DOS.
