Subject:  [VOICENWS] Open Watcom Update

From: announce.openwatcom-adminatlist.openwatcom.org 

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.

SCITECH IS HIRING!
SciTech is looking for talented system-level software developers to  work
on its cutting edge cross-platform solutions. If this sounds like
