I always use the watcom makefile, but I haven't added support (in the
makefile )for DOS, mainly because I never use DOS.  It shouldn't be too 
hard to add it, assuming you're familiar with make files.  One trick is 
figuring out if the translator generates different files for the front 
end than get generated for windows.  I know that it's different for Windows 
and Linux, but not sure about DOS.

But if there are additional errors, I don't know what the solution is, since
I haven't even attempted to build ex.exe with OW1.6.
