I hope QSSL lends expertise to this project.

If that means, “does that include QNX?” then the ball is in their court.
We will support whatever we can and I would be very happy to port version
11.0 over to QNX.
The list is (in terms of executables)
DOS
32-bit DOS
16-bit Windows
Win32
16-bit OS/2
32-bit OS/2
Novell
AutoCad (I don’t think anyone uses Watcom for this)
Also we found out that
(i) There are full-blown DEC Alpha chip compilers, just never released,
fully functioning. I think they will generate Windows NT executables on this
platform.
(ii) There are also MIPS and PPC chip compilers, not fully functioning but
almost complete. Hopefully these can be completed. Again, I think these
generated Windows NT executables.

Does this OpenSource include the IDE/Debugger and other tools that are
included with released compiler package?

Yes. It includes all executables made by Watcom. So that means WDIS,
WMAKE, IDE (should really be WIDE 
) etc.
The only things that cannot be distributed is any non-Watcom files. So
distributing 16-bit <windows.h> is out.

This is great. When I was in the QNX beta program I seam to recall that
Real-Time Type checking was working.
I haven’t tried the gnu C++ for Neutrino yet but the (latest I believe) gnu
for Linux does NOT correctly support Real-Time Type checking.
I would love to be able to use that feature.

For QNX, you may face the same problem because some of the header
files/libs belong to QSSL.

It will probably be difficult if not impossible, given the
fact that QSSL has a limited resource. Even their own product
such as QNX4 is given less priority due to RTP/NTO.
