Is the IPAS developer kit compatible with the Watcom C/C++ 10.0 version?

Hi Peter, << Is the IPAS developer kit compatible with the Watcom C/C++ 10.0 version? >> IPAS3 is not. It supports 9.5. IPAS4 support for watcom 10 has not been announced but it is a big user wish. jonas[adesk]

I bought WATCOM 10 at just recently (at the same time upgraded to 3DSr3) to start writing IPAS programs. Indeed there are problems. Do I take it that you do not suggest pursuing solution to these problems at this time? and try to get WATCOM to trade me a version 9.5? Any suggestions? Dave

Hi Dave, << . Do I take it that you do not suggest pursuing solution to these problems at this time? and try to get WATCOM to trade me a version 9.5? Any suggestions? >> If you want to be productive *today*, contact watcom, tell them you need 9.5 for IPAS development. They have been accomodating to developers in the past. 10.0 is a heavily requested compiler from developers. However, keep 10.0 for IPAS4. jonas[adesk]

I think there was a little confusion in our conversation. In the IPAS3 Toolkit Reference page 5 it says "WATCOM C/386 9.5" is the required compiler. WATCOM says there is no such compiler. In the example BAT files for IPAS3 the name used is "WATCOM C/C++32 optimizing compiler (9.5)". WATCOM says there is a compiler with this name (if I could find one for sale). However, the compiler that I have located is called "WATCOM C32 for DOS 9.5". WATCOM says these are two different compilers. My question is – will "WATCOM C32 for DOS 9.5" work or do I need "WATCOM C/C++32 optimizing compiler 9.5"? Thanks for your help. Dave
