Anyone thinking of buying Watcom should first write for a copy of their
user license. If you can live with that hostile document, go for it.
I wrote to them because their license agreement appeared to demand that
I break Australian law. They promised to change it, I bought their
compiler, and they broke their promise. (There is a clause in the
agreement allowing them to break even written promises.) My silly fault,
but I thought they were just doing the normal thing and covering
themselves; they really _mean_ it!
