the severe bug in v1.6 - 32bit DOS extended binaries did pass an invalid environment pointer when launching another application - has been fixed in v1.7, so yes, v1.7 works better.

btw, DOS386, I'm sure the OW people would be very happy if there is a volunteer thoroughly testing the DOS binaries *before* the final version is released. What about you? That would be a(nother) good chance to do something constructive for DOS.

Yes. There is also http://bugzilla.openwatcom.org/
