Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Open Watcom 1.0 RC1 is ready!

From:  Kendall Bennett <KendallB at scitechsoft.com> 

Hi Guys,

I just started the upload process for uploading the Open Watcom 1.0  RC1 
release. It will take an hour or so probably to get completely  uploaded, 
so in about an hour you should be able to download the RC1 binary  files 
from the web and ftp sites. The web site has been updated with the 
information about the release, as well as updated download links 
(although they won't work till the files show up ;-). 

I tested it with all my code here and it worked great (especially  Michael
Devore's new CWHELP.EXE updates!). So please download it, test  it and let
us know what you think. If there are no major problems with  this release,
we will make it golden and rename the RC1 build to make  it  the final
release. 

Also for this release we merged the C/C++ and FORTRAN compilers into a
single download package. There was just too much duplication of effort in
the installers to maintain them separately, and the FORTRAN guys  need 
most of the C compiler stuff anyway. I am unable to test the FORTRAN 
compilers, so someone else who does FORTRAN programming will have to  test
this.

Also feel free to post this information everywhere on the net to  increase
the awareness of this compiler.

NOTE: We have released the new Windows and OS/2 binary installers  under 
a slightly modified license and have retained all rights to the  installer
source code and script files (not the ZIP files, core source code or
manifests etc). We have placed the restriction on the  installers 
specifically such that others wishing to re-distirbute the  installers 
will need to first get written permission from SciTech. This is  primarily
done such that we can control how the product is advertised  for download
on other web site and how it is distributed on CD-ROM  etc.  It is
doubtful we would refuse permission to anyone or any company,  but  when
we give permission we will require specific guidelines to be  followed
such as proper links on their site to the official Open  Watcom  web sit
as well as the Open Watcom donations page (for web sites  offering free
downloads of the installers).

Thanks!
