Serguei:

My appologies for the delayed response.  Unfortunately, it will not be getting 
better for the next two months......

 BJ> What version of OpenWatcom did you use?

 ST> I used "WatcomC 11.0c b1".

 BJ> Ah...  Ok.  Wasn't that just before the free version?  Or maybe

 ST> Yes, it was one of very first versions.

Ok.  We should try to adopt the curren version of OpenWatcom, if possible.  I 
realize just getting all the code to compile with your existing Watcom compiler 
setup should be ok for now.....

 ST> Now I'm downloading 1.1 version of OpenWatcom and will

 ST> Tonight I'll try to create building environment for Watcom.

Yes.  The ./configure script is something Wes wrote, and has only been tested 
on various Unix and Linux platforms.  It will need work to configure the needed 
environment for the Watcom compiler.  Once we have a compilation with the 
Watcom compiler going, I should be able to test it with OpenWatcom running 
under OS/2....

Thanks for the note.
