About
=====
This is a place for me to keep notes about the OpenWatcom compiler
toolchain.

<http://openwatcom.org/>

OpenWatcom is the official compiler for C code included in FreeDOS.
It requires a 32-bit host, and can target 16-bit platforms.

<https://freedos.org/about/devel/>

It is the only free compiler i am aware of that can build real-mode
DOS programs that use the large & huge memory models.

Known issues
============
OpenWatcom has scary failures in compiler test suites.
