Open Watcom C/C++/FORTRAN Source Code ------------------------------------- This directory contains the source code archives for the Open Watcom C/C++ and FORTRAN/77 products. In this directory you will find two separates sets of source code achives; one set is the release source code and the other set is the development source code. The release source code will be the source code archive that corresponds to a stable release of the product that includes pre-compiled binaries. The development source code archive contains the latest code from the development branch in Perforce, which is useful if you wish to initially populate your source code tree and avoid a long initial sync with Perforce. The release source archives will always be in the form of: open_watcom_x.x.x-src.zip open_watcom_x.x.x-src.tar.bz2 Both archives contain the exact same source code, however the ZIP file contains files with CR/LF style line endings (ie: DOS, Windows and OS/2), while the tar.bz2 file contains files with Unix style line endings. Make sure you use the correct version for the platform you are devleoping under, especially if you plan to use the archive to populate your Perforce source code tree. The development source code is archived on a Linux platform daily and will present in this directory with the filename: ow_daily.tar.bz2 If you wish to play with the latest Open Watcom source code, this is the archive you should get. But bear in mind this is development code so there is a good chance it will crash! Have fun!
