Installing Open Watcom F77 and Usage
W. eWatson
for it. My source for 1.9 is
<http://www.openwatcom.org/index.php/Download>. It gives me:
open-watcom-f77-win32-1.9.exe.
When I install, there are only choices: Custom, which presumably will
ask a lot of questions, and some one shot do-it without any
intervention. I took the latter.
..., XP, and no Win7? I use Win7. Trouble??
Something is amiss with my install. I downloaded 1.9. I did not use any
customization.
I can bring up the IDE easily. Using it is a different matter. The
only Getting Started in F77 manual I can find is shown as v1.8. If 1.9
is needed, I can't find it. If I use the 1.8 manual, then the contents
don't match up with what I find in the F77 IDE. For example, the manual
talks about a Kitchen project on page 15. Not found anywhere in the
install folder.

Should work fine, in theory.

At this point, I doubt it. Win7 seems pretty widespread. Then again, I
know XP is better in some ways for compatibility. Who knows. Anyways,
in my limited experience, OpenWatcom C/C++ works fine in Win7, but I
don't really use the IDE etc, only the cmdline stuff.

Uninstall and reinstall if you're worried. See if that fixes it.

I don't know what the "full install" does by default. It's possible
that it doesn't include 100% of everything. I know some of the
installers were a bit rough around the edges (e.g. Linux), but overall
it should work.
Anyways, the *real* point I wanted to make is ... why ask here, jump
over to news://openwatcom.users.fortran (or similar) for real help
(followup pointed there, I hope). ;-)

OpenWatcom has dedicated newsgroups and a few active people. Ask over there.

No ... At least, this how it worked a few years ago:
OW has a _dedicated_ newserver for their newsgroups. You can post and read
their newsgroups if connected via their newserver. If you post to one of
their newsgroups via Usenet or Google Groups, your post will be lost or
discarded. They don't accept inbound Usenet traffic. You must connect to
their newserver _directly_ to post. You can still read via Usenet or Google
Groups, if you want.
OW wiki lists their server and main groups:
