I don't know which routines you are referring to.
Most of the routine names that you see in the code
are my routines. They are not Watcom-specific routines.

I don't forsee many enhancements to DOS in the near future,
so WATCOM for DOS32 should be fine. As for it
being "dead", tell that to the folks who are starting up
a major open source project for Watcom.

I hope to get around to Borland and DJGPP someday.
I hope Watcom will be downloadable soon. If it isn't
going to happen in a reasonable time, I'll target something else.
