I plunked down the cash for the Metaware / PharLap developer's system for IPAS development. Now I'm questioning my choice… Could I have spent a lot less money on the Watcom system? If I bought Watcom, I'd still need to buy the PharLap development system, right, which would mean I'd still spend roughly the same amount on software? What are some of the differences between the Metaware and Watcom routes for IPAS development? PharLap's royalties are a bite, while Watcom includes a royalty-free DOS extender.
