   If this gets started, I should be able to supply some resources for it - I    
   have (had?) a good bit of documentation and some of the source code for SOM    
   3 before that died.  It will take some digging.   
      
   The better plan for building would be to use VACPP 3 rather than Watcom    
   until you get a build environment and working code base.  I never had much    
   luck with Watcom - or VACPP 4 for that matter - and kept falling back to    
   VACPP 3.   
      
   Talk about old/moldy: those archives appear to date from 1999 - 2002!  I    
   still think PM/WPS/SOM was best model I ever worked with. Even DSOM was more    
   usable than most current desktop systems.
