Watcom 11c prebeta

2001-09-21 02:50:37 -- Igor Vanin [os2.org, Leonardo Pino]

This patch for older installations may work as stand alone product.

URL: ftp://ftp.openwatcom.org/watcom/watcom-c-11.0c-b1.exe.

The file is a Win32 installer but works fine with ODIN. To use it one must set the enviromemt variables described on the readme file. This compiler to be usefull needs the OS/2 toolkit installed too, but this comes with eCS, ACP and MCP. It will be usefull for developers to work on device drivers, since many of them were written using this compiler. Thanks to the people at ScitechSoft.
