This is true. Sybase/Powersoft published Optima++ which was based on Watcom 11.0 c++ compiler. The have stopped supporting it officially for a couple of years. This means that it could be difficult to find a place where you can buy it and, most important, it will not be upgraded to recent c++ features. > Anyway, get DJGPP - you will NOT find better end-user support anywhere...
