Ok, thankyou. I missed that.

I now have something for my lawyers to use if
the Watcom people sue me when I one day
commercialize PDOS/386 or a flavor of that.

Even if I'm only using their compiler, not
their runtime library.

Or even if I switch to Smaller C at a later
date, for PDOS/386 at least. Maybe they've
got long memories.

But probably at that level, Watcom is no
worse than Microsoft or anyone else with
a license. I'm still not sure if I'll be
sued by Microsoft for using Windows to
build a competitor to Windows. It's not
like I've read their 6231 license conditions
either. Or even got my legal team to
read them on my behalf.

BFN. Paul.
