[cctalk] Re: best C compiler(s) for varied vintage programming

Very helpful especially the comment about the Amsterdam compiler. It's just real nice to have a complete compiler package, manuals and all. Anything released back then will compiler for 16 bits. It just would be real fancy to have an actual 80186 compliler that compiled on this machine I guess, as how else could it function? The guts of this thing may have more compatibility then I'm aware. Your friend has a Dimenaion? That's functional???
