Thanks for trying, but who cares (apart from you apparently)?
I'm OS/2 user since many years and have no short term plan to abandon it
as my primary OS. I might switch to Linux for programming when there is
a compiler with which I can build a Linux, an OS/2 and a W32 executable.
Can GCC do that? If not I'll prefer Open Watcom C.
BTW In the past I have used several C compilers for Xwisp2, among which
GCC. The IBM Visual Age C compiler was by far the best: the most
extensive error/warning reports and the smallest executable. But none of
these except Watcom have cross-compile facility.

The makefiles in the package are for the Open Watcom C compiler (wmake).
And yes I run it under OS/2, but is that relevant?

I'll have a look at the proper typing, maybe I can specify better
compiler options. I already made some effort to remove case issues with
Linux, and I'll try to remove 'm all!
