What's the state of play regarding DOS C compilers? I might have a need to do
some DOS-based C development work - are there any good-but-free DOS compilers
about?
Free DOS C compilers: Turbo C 2.01, Openwatcom (watcom 11.0c, open
watcom 1.4); Pacific C; DJGPP. All freely downloadable. Open watcom
and DJGPP come with source.
I have tried them all recently. DJCPP does not support 16 bit code;
Turbo C 2.01 does not surport 32 bit code; Open Watcom 1.4 supports
all.
I did have Turbo C on tape, but I haven't tried to read those tapes in years
and wouldn't hold out much hope of them still being intact...
