1. Watcom Compiler

I forget if this has been covered or not, but Watcom has now "Open Sourced"
their compiler:

        http://www.openwatcom.org/

One of the more interesting points:

"Sybase has selected SciTech Software, Inc. as the official maintainer of
the Watcom complier source code, which is planned to be released under the
"Open Watcom" moniker. SciTech was selected due to its heavy use of Watcom
products, its extensive cross platform experience and its record of Open
Source involvement; SciTech released its commercial SciTech MGL graphics
library to the Open Source community in 1997."

That's great news. I wasn't aware of that.
It will mean that anyone will be able to translate/compile
(for free) any Euphoria program for DOS32 or WIN32 (or Linux)
without worrying about any incompatibilities with
interpreted Euphoria, such as the lack of WATCOM's
DOS32 graphics library.

I may still support other free C compilers, but this would
reduce the urgency.

Keep in mind that there aren't any downloadable files there yet. Let's hope
they appear ASAP!
