The 640K memory limit of MS-DOS

But xe is nonetheless right that DOS/4GW was part of Watcom C/C++. That's what the "W" at the end means. The full DOS extender was DOS/4G. And Watcom C was available from the middle 1980s, too.

Zortech C++ came with both a 286 extender and a 386 extender.

I don't know off the top of my head whether Watcom C/C++ ever targetted the 16-bit Phar Lap or Rational Systems extenders. It certainly targetted the 32-bit ones, and others besides.
