Does paradigm locator work with watcom compiler? (real mode)

Hi, group, I have a board with 80188 microprocesser and I have software that is tested good on PC with watcom C 11.0. Now I need to port the software to the 80188. I have paradigm locate 5.0 but I have never used it. The manual talked about supporting Borland C++4.0 and MSC 8.0c. Has anybody tried to use it with watcom C? Does it work with Turbo C 2.01 too? I need to decide how I would approach this problem. I might port the software to Turbo C 2.01, or port the software to Borland C++ 4.0, then buy one copy of BC from ebay. I might try to find a locator that supports watcom C. I have MSC6.0 too. But my dudes do not like MS. It is optimal if all the tools are freely downloadable. I might be able to answer those questions if I dig the internet deeper but I'd appreciate your help as I can direct more energy toward the right direction. Thank you.

Hi Vax,

I believe the upcoming 1.4 version of OpenWatcom will support embedded applications.

If the linker can create a map file compatible with the Borland or Microsoft map, it should succeed.

The locator reads the class and segment definitions from the map and adjusts the segment relocations in the .exe file accordingly.

An example of a segment/class map working with the locator:

--
  Start  Stop   Length Name               Class

  00000H 00037H 00038H ROMSTART           ROMSTART
