This was common when Paul Edwards ported Msged to 32-bit OS/2 in 1995, and when I ported MSGAPI38 (which was then renamed SMAPI) to Windows NT a few years later. Fast forward to 2021 and there's a working Watcom makefile (make/makefile.watcom) for each Husky module (huskylib, smapi, etc) needed to build HPT.

Any plans of watcom makefiles of other husky tools? Like sqpack, hptutil and hptkill? :)
