Watcom V10.5 (the latest but .1) says it does 48 bit pointers in the online
documents and goes on to describe why you may need to use them. I have not
actually tried them.


I like Watcom. They treat their users like they have a clue. I reported two
small bugs and one they have already fixed while they got back to me when
they could not reproduce the other. Their IDE is still a bit primitive (this
may be fixed in 10.6, which I do not yet have), but at least it is nice and
quiet. The last thing I want in a compiler system is an IDE that runs back
and forth across my keyboard and says "pet me".
