Open Watcom ?

Post by TBeholder »

Did anyone here tried to compile Vega Strike with Open Watcom ?
If so, how it ended (and how to properly setup VS project, etc) ?
If not, why ? Watcom has long history as a compiler for games, maybe it still have some advantage in speed optimization (at least, over MS's compiler) ?..
