This is an update on my efforts with WATCOM C/C++

I am now able to run it and select various targets. Also, I now have
online help. Apparently, the file,

C:\WATCOM\BINP\BATSERV.EXE,

has to been run at OS/2 initialization, via the CONFIG.SYS. It cannot be
simply run, using a batch file just before using WATCOM C/C++ (that was
what I was attempting to do). So, ...., now I've placed RUN statements
for that file, and for C:\WATCOM\BINP\NMPBIND.EXE, in the CONFIG.SYS. I
also placed all the environmental variables in the CONFIG.SYS, instead
of a batch file.

A couple of questions, however:

1. Is it true that I still need the Watcom version 11.0 CDROM install??

2. I notice that I cannot change the environmental variables, using a
batch file, by simply double clicking on the icon for the file. Instead,
I have to run the batch file from the commandline. Anyone know anything
about this (why)?

Thanks.
