Can't assemble cstrt086.asm (can't find exitwmsg.inc)

[Binarus]

Dear all,

I am trying to learn how to generate 16-bit DOS applications using the Openwatcom toolchain.

It seems I can't assemble cstrt086.asm (on my disk, it's in c:\watcom\src\startup\dos) because it includes exitwmsg.inc which I can't find on my HDD. There is an exitwmsg.h, though, but that's in the OS/2 folder, and I don't think that I should use that.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much,

Binarus

It seems not to be in the exe package. You can find it in /bld/clib/h in the
source package which you would need to download additionally. I think the
source package shouldn't normally be needed for this, maybe an oversight.
