Object Reader Library, reads OMF, COFF and ELF object files.
headers and libraries for the OS/2 API (both 16-bit and 32-bit).
Object Writer Library, brother of ORL.
presentation graphics and chart library for DOS (part of the graph library).
another huge directory containing all C++ stuff. Compiler, runtime libraries, all
that.
C++ regression test utilities. Extremely worthy of the attention of compiler
developers.
parallel make, tool used in the build process to roughly control what gets built.
a bunch of POSIX utilites like cp, rm and so on. Not suffering from creeping
featuritis but they do the job and they’re portable.
interface to various revision control systems, used by IDE and editor.
regular expression to C converter, used in C++ compiler build.
miscellaneous redistributable files.
C, C++ and math runtime DLLs.
SDK tools like resource editor, resource compiler or dialog editor. Also the
home of wres library which is used by many other projects.
source for the Open Watcom installer.
sample source code distributed with the compiler, some of it is used in the
documentation.
internal tool used for debugger builds.
ancient system information utility.
trap files (both local and remote), the heart of the debugger containing platform
specific debugging code. Heavy stuff.
memory tracker library (good for discovering and plugging memory leaks).
