Is it possible to use the WATCOM compiler (
www.openwatcoml.org) instead of the microsoft one(s)?
Which modifications-hurdles would I run into?
thanks,

It should work - but it may take some mucking around to get the settings right. It has been a very long time (more than 10 years) since I have used a Watcom compiler, but at one point I did have it working for compiled simulations (probably with a 16 bit compiler).
That said the current Microsoft compiler is also available for free (Visual C++ Express it is called) so, unless you love the Watcom compiler, that might be an easier choice. The link:
