I see alot of improvement possible on my P4 box. But just for the record I also
use Eu on a blazing fast 386 and 486 DX laptop. But I do have a 286 laptop, Apple
IIe and Commodore 64 as well.

Well it couldn't have anything to do with C99. Watcom 10.6 was released before
the new C99 specifcation was submitted. I think RDS only uses the older ANSI C,
which is fine.
Its a good chance that whatever Robert was trying to work around has been fixed
after ten years. But of course he wont know until he tries to remove it. If it
hasn't been fixed, he can report it to the Watcom development team.
