   I would've found that too on any day other than Sunday.

   All of these were off the top of my head, with minimal testing.  I find   
   Open Watcom somewhat difficult to wield as I'm used to Visual Studio.   
   One flaw is if CAPS LOCK is on, your function keys to step into and over   
   code doesn't work in the version I have.   
      
   I have Visual Studio 2003, and I tried to get it to compile a 16-bit   
   DOS application but it's not supported in that version.  I think I have   
   to go back to VS98 for that.
