What version of WATCOM is the most recommended one ?
Almost 1 year elapsed since 1.8 release, there were some complaints by
Japheth about "JWASM doesn't compile with 1.8 anymore" in the past,
but latest releases report to compile fine with both 1.7a and 1.8,
although nothing has been fixed in WATCOM since then. Author of
MPXPLAY still uses 1.3 and warns about newer versions (possibly he
didn't test anything after 1.6).
How does 1.8 compare to 1.7a or 1.3 or other C compilers? Bugs,
efficiency ("optimization")?
The features I might be interested are:
- 16-bit code generation: COM, MZ, OBJ, FreeDOS kernel
- 32-bit code generation: LE, PE, OBJ
http://wiki.fdos.org/Main/OpenWatcom is desperately obsolete, anyone
dares to update or delete this page ?
Also 1.8 reportedly is able to compile itself on DOS again, anyone can
confirm this ? Any info around (what to download, how to start) ?

Several enhancements, but not a single bugfix - is 1.8 WLINK really bugfree ?
