Open Watcom

Description

Full developer's package with workframe, source-language debugger, assembler and compilers for C, C++ and Fortran, which is available for a series of platforms already (DOS, OS/2 Warp, Windows 3.1, Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT/2000/XP) and with a Linux version being in the works.

The system was forked in 2012 after a member of the OpenWatcom team deleted almost all contributions to the system from others than the core team, the bulk of the developers that had been actively working on the system now work on the fork that is informally know as the "Malak" version. Most new development therefore happens on the for and not on the original version of OpenWatcom.
