We would like to update you on the status of the Open Watcom effort:
PROJECT STATUS
Sybase's Watcom 11.0c source tree has been checked into a
private section of the Open Watcom Perforce system and the core team is
working (under NDA) to get it compiling in this new environment. Since
the 11.0c source code received from Sybase did not compile initially,
this task is taking longer that originally anticipated. The team also had
a number of problems sorting out exactly which files in the build tree
needed to be in version control. Work is progressing on getting 11.0c to
compile correctly and it should be completed soon. The next phase is the
11.0c binary release and following that will be the first Open Watcom
source code release (once all the proprietary third party source code is
removed).
WEB SITE REDESIGN
The Open Watcom web has been redesigned in anticipation of the
forthcoming Open Watcom releases. Specifically, we have created a
"Community" section where all those using Open Watcom tools will be able
to congregate. Check it out at http://www.openwatcom.org
NEW MAILING LISTS AND NEWSGROUPS
Now you have the option of using either mailing lists or newsgroups to
stay current with the Open Watcom community. All post to the newsgroups
will automatically be sent to the corresponding mailing list and vice
versa. There are four public Open Watcom mailing lists/newsgroups:
openwatcom.announce (official announcements only)
openwatcom.users.c_c++
openwatcom.users.fortran
openwatcom.contributors
Please see the Open Watcom Community page
(http://www.openwatcom.org/community.html) for information about how to participate in the Open Watcom mailing lists and news groups.
PURCHASING WATCOM 11.0x
One of the most common questions we are asked is where people can purchase an existing Watcom 11.0 product. We have added a section to the FAQ (http://www.openwatcom.org/faq.html) listing sites that might still be selling Watcom products. We also recommend searching Ebay, since there have been frequent offers for Watcom 11.0 products recently.
