- Some of my collegues use Watcom and they say it is an excellent compiler.
- The IDE is not so slick, but it creates very small and fast code, it is
- really cross-platform (they use OS/2 mostly) and it is reasonably priced.
-
- I do not know how it interfaces with other peoples object files though, but
- I would think there is a way, since it is quite popular.
