Care to cite some examples?  I've had more problems with DJGPP compiled
executables than Watcom (it's why I switch back to wmake instead of DJGPP's
make).
More than likely it was sloppy code on the programmer's part.  I've run Watcom
compiled apps and games under Windows, and aside from a few regular problems
(Windows' fault), I've never experienced poorly behaved programs.
