I came to know Open Watcom at its 1.1 release. I downloaded and played with it a little while. It did not impress me much until recently I downloaded 1.3 release. I find myself loving it. It has a very good IDE. Though there are some small glitches there, I just love it It's cute I already started building small utility programs using the IDE Please have a look at http://www.openwatcom.org Its FTP site is ftp:.... //ftp.openwatcom .org.
