Sybase, Inc. (NASDAQ-SYBS) today announced that it will release the
source code to its Watcom C/C++ and Fortran compilers under an Open
Source license, thus enabling Watcom users to continue to use the
products and evolve them to meet the changing needs of the Watcom
community.

from Scitech Software!]

When asked for a comment on the relevancy to the OS/2 community of
this announcement, Mr. Bennett replied:

  It is very relevant to all OS/2 users. The Watcom compiler fully
  supports OS/2 development (both 16-bit and 32-bit), and we have a
  number of OS/2 developers on the core team (Timur Tabi is one of
  them). Hence we expect the OS/2 version will improve markedly as
  many of us want to see some of the major OS/2 bugs fixed (like
  support for multi-threading in the debugger etc). Also given that
  IBM recently canned VAC++, the OS/2 version will become even more
  important in the future.

  I am actually going to be giving a presentation on the Open Watcom
  compilers at Warpstock. The presentation will focus on exactly what
  will be included, and how this will affect the OS/2 community.
