I snipped this from Compuserve's capture of WarpCast. It
looks as though there will be fixes available for all those
nagging buglets in the Watcom compilers and, more
particularly, ancillary tools such as the linker.

Just to add a little more info that I've gleaned from the Sybase news server, (news:://forums.sybase.com, groups are powersoft.public.watcom_c_c++ and powersoft.public.watcom_fortran_77)
the initial plans are to provide an update to current Watcom C++ 11
users near term (like in a month or two) with full program downloads
as soon as they get their CM system up and the build mechanics
resolved. Shortly after that major milestone, they plan to open up the repository and solicit user contributions to the code. Steven Howe, another of the core maintainers, has indicated that they will be trying
to consolidate ALL the Watcom compiler versions (they all use the same code generators) and make them all available. At least one of the
core group is working on getting Sybase to release the VXREXX code to revive that as well.
This has to be the most welcome news to come down the pike in a long
time!
