MSDN home URL and OW 1.9 compatibility?

[Harry Potter]

I have two questions:

* Where online can I find MSDN? This will minimize the chance that I ask stupid questions here.
* I have Open Watcom 1.9. Which WinNT operating systems does it support?

Looks like it's NT4+. (1.9 was released in 2010 so it won't have any support
for anything Win8-specific.) If you need to support NT3 for some reason, you
can specify the linker option '-version:3', and *might* need to specify the
wcl option '-l=NT' (or NT_WIN or NT_DLL). A discussion of the various options
can be found in tools.hlp, under "Open Watcom Compile and Link Summary".

What is the highest WinNT sytem directly supported by OW 1.9? And thank you for the URL! :)

http://www.openwatcom.org/index.php/About_Open_Watcom mentions "Windows
NT/2000/XP", so *apparently* XP is the latest specifically written for. I
imagine that OW apps will work under NT6 (Vista+) but I haven't tried any
myself.

Np.

If you are not able to type MSDN on Google, stop programming...

Is this the MSDN you want?

You might check if your newsgroups server offers any of the openwatcom.*
newsgroups, which might be good places to ask your second question.
