- To my knowledge, Watcom comes "loaded" with Tenberry's DOS/4GW DOS
- extender. This is a scaled-down version of Tenberry's professional
- (commercial) DOS extender - DOS/4G or DOS/4G Pro (i've forgotten exactly
- which one it is). If you compile your own commercial program using
- Watcom's version (i.e. DOS/4GW), you should not have to pay royalties,
- but when you start your Watcom 32-bit (DOS-extended) application, a
- banner will display as your program starts up. It displays the Tenberry
- "royalty-free" info to you...then your program will begin...
