- You might want to check Watcom's web patch at http://www.watcom.com. In
- the C/C++ section there's a page where you can download patches. It might
- have what you're looking for.

- There was a bug in 10.5, and I assume it existed in previous versions,
- that would prevent the installation from being completed in Windows '95.
- Supposidly, it is fixed in 10.5a, but I don't see how. You run the
- installation program from a CDROM, you can't write to the CDROM, and
- therefore you can't patch the files on the CDROM. The installation program
- is what crashes...well, you get the idea. I'm sure I'm missing something.
