Unless you're needing something that's unique in the Watcom extensions,
despite that it is a fine F77+ compiler, I'd recommend using one of the
other alternatives for Fortran.  gfortran or g95 both are F95+ and
continue progress towards current Fortran Standard compliance while
Watcom remains (and afaict will remain) stuck where it is.

Again, that's nothing against OW per se, just that there seems to me no
reason to bind oneself to a static, more and more outdated version of
the language unless something is forcing that decision that can't be
changed.

$0.02, imo, ymmv, etc., etc., etc., ...
