Well, I actually retrieved headers on Thursday around noon, but got distracted by work (don't you hate when that happens) and when I got back half an hour or so later, the nntp server was no longer accessible. That's when I tried to check the web site and noticed that that one doesn't respond either... > I just hope that this not the result of the spat with Jiri's Open-Watcom > 2.0 fork... :-\ > There's an OpenWatcom fork on SourceForge > (http://sourceforge.net/projects/openwatcom/) with a corresponding > Github page (http://open-watcom.github.io/open-watcom/). > > I don't know if that's the Jiri fork you mention. > Yes, that's the fork, just note that the GitHub address is written "open-watcom" and not "openwatcom". The "official" OpenWatcom is using a sponsired Perforce repository hosted by SciTech (or whatever the company that took over Watcom is called these days). This is the alleged "improved" 2.0 for by Jiri Malak, though going by some of the discussions (if you can call it that) on the mailing list, the code that he has committed on github is supposedly not or only very cursory tested, hence those changes had been rejected (unless properly tested) by those people that have been working on the "official" 1.9 version. Not sure in how far this effects the DOS compiler, but that was part of what I was trying to find out the other day...
