Open Watcom C/C++ 1.4

Open Watcom C/C++ 1.4 provides you a convenient tool that is a joint effort between SciTech Software, Sybase, and the Open Source development community which is used to maintain and enhance the Sybase Watcom C/C++ compiler products. The core tools in the package permit cross-platform development that allows developers to exploit the advanced features of 32-bit operating systems, including Win32, OS/2 and Linux. The multi-platform debugger advances developer productivity.

Major Features:

1. Support a wide range of host and target platforms including Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT/2000/XP, OS/2, extended DOS and Novell Netware.
   • This impressive platform support is amplified by the powerful cross-platform capabilities of the IDE and tools, which enable building applications for a wide range of target environments from any of the host systems. For example, from Windows XP you can build and debug Windows 98, 32-bit DOS and 32-bit OS/2 applications, in addition to Windows XP applications.
   • This extensive cross-platform support helps you to exploit the capabilities of your host platform.
2. Support powerful remote debugging capabilities right out of the box. Support is included for remote debugging over the serial port, parallel port, TCP/IP for all supported platforms (including DOS!).
   • There are also remote debugging layers for Novell Netware networks (IPX and NetBIOS) as well as remote debugging within virtual DOS machines and more.
   • The ability to cross compile and debug any target platform from any host platform! You can if you want develop and debug Win32 applications from OS/2 or DOS, and when the Linux port is complete you will be able to build and debug Win32 applications from Linux!
3. FREE OS/2 AND WINDOWS SDK'S
   • Fairly complete SDK headers and libraries for OS/2, Win16 and Win32! The Win32 SDK headers and libraries are actually based heavily on the w32api project developed and maintained by the MinGW compiler folks.
   • A number of royalty free and Open Source DOS extenders right out of the box. 
   • Also included is the now free CauseWay DOS extender developed by Michael Devore. Both binaries are included as well as complete source code in the source archives.
