Hey Karl, I wrote this 5 Dec 2001

Hey Yall,

OpenWatcom is available as most of you know. The Beta to 11c does compile
Euphoria
Translated Code and runs faster than LCC or Borland but you have to know a few
tricks to get
Watcom to work at all because the libraries and header files arent included in
the beta release.
I have the solution to this problem!

Download and install Watcom 11c beta 
Download and install Masm32 v7 (I think) by Hutch

Transfer the library files from :\Masm32\lib  -to-  :\Watcom\lib386\nt

Then Setup your Autoexec.bat file

Here is a sample that sets up the path for Watcom

SET EUDIR=D:\EUPHORIA
SET WATCOM=D:\WATCOM
SET PATH=%WATCOM%\BINNT;%WATCOM%\BINW;%PATH%

SET EDPATH=%WATCOM%\EDDAT
SET INCLUDE=%WATCOM%\H;%WATCOM%\MFC\INCLUDE;%WATCOM%\H\NT

SET PATH=%PATH%;D:\EUPHORIA\BIN;D:\Borland\Bcc55\Bin;D:\Lcc\Bin;D:\TC

make sure to reboot so changes will take affect!

Run the Euphoria translator on your code then run emake.bat and your C files
will
be assembled and linked, disregard the Graph.lib message and your Watcom 
generated executable is ready.

I havent encountered any problem with it and I have many successfull compiles
using this. One draw back is the HUGE D/L.
