Yes thats right. You have ONE IDE (Windows and Linux are identic) and you can produce on any systems Executable for other systems. Except on DOS and WfW 3.11 where you can produce only 16Bit exes. > And when you say Linux, I assume you mean Linux on i386 only.

YesNo! ;-9 The OpneWatcom has some extensions which do not exist in gcc but produced Linux executable are running fine on Debian systems. And then there are some C/C++ programs which can not compiled with OpenWatcom. I have create some and packed it up as Debian package. Generaly it is its own system.
