I'm assuming that few people will be interested in the
WATCOM version. I expect GNU or maybe Borland
will be of much more interest. I am using WATCOM at
the moment for convenience in getting the compiler working.
(By the way the sanity.ex test is now passing 100% using the
compiler.) When you work on a large project you have to
choose which problems to solve first, and which to leave
until later. I have chosen to defer the port to GNU etc.
until after the compiler is working solidly with WATCOM.

True.

DOS4GW came free with WATCOM and is external
with no licence required. You can buy an internal version
to bind with your .exe.

Maybe. I know that there are several shareware/freeware
DOS extenders available that are not all external.

Fortunately, the Linux and Windows versions of Euphoria
do not use DOS extenders.
