Hi!

We are back!

Open Watcom is like a mythical bird Phoenix that never dies
and rises again from the ashes.

So do we.

The reports of our death are greatly exaggerated.

Don't expect here a fancy website - we are concentrating
on our inner systems, after all effectively managing our
codebase is what brings you the top-notch product.

We continue to develop the official OW 1.9 line but are
also working on our "next generation" branch. While no
official releases yet, we are making available the daily
source for both of our branches, so you can build and test
them.

Get them here:

http://openwatcom.org/ftp/source/ow_portable_daily.tar.bz2

Read this!

Update!

Now you can also download a ready made "next generation" build.
Two builds are available, a "stable" one and the latest "field test".

Also, here is the link to current official 1.9 download.
