Maybe somebody could clear this up for me. I remember reading that
Borland licenced most of their C compiler technology from Watcom.
However, when I glanced at this months Computer Language magazine, which
has benchmarks comparing the two companies' compilers, there was a large
discrepancy between their ratings.

Does anybody know anything about this?
