Precisely, "C++ support". I follow closely their development to notice every
progress related to our needs but sadly they lack of good C++ developer. But
skills of C compiler and other parts of toolkit are impressive and a lot of
people  are choosing OW intentionally.

I tried:

typename with <long>
class with <long>
typename without <long>
class without <long>

and they all failed. I will commit temporary fix with macro in #ifdef __WATCOM__
and will ask in their newsgroup for support. Hopefully they will be interested
in cooperation.
