I don't have a Watcom compiler and am not going to buy one to

  test code.

  Looking at the "C" code generated by the compiler/translator

  it looks like the biggest stumbling block for moving the code

  to a "C" compiler that most people have, is the calls to the

  built-in machine functions which are based on Watcom code.

  Unless you define these function specifications, ( or write

  your own versions in standard "C" ) no one will be

  able to aid you in moving to another compiler.

  I'am afraid that it is a serious mistake to rely on built-in

  functions in a dead compiler ( Watcom ). Borland 5.5 is a free

  compiler available today to everyone, so is DJGPP, and many

  others.

  If you wait for WATCOM to be available it may be months and have

  all kinds of restrictions on it's use.

  I think that you are restricting RDS's and Euphoria's growth.
