Also, can
anyone recommend a free C compiler running under MS-DOS, that can
produce code capable of running on an XT type PC? I have used djgpp, but
programs compiled with that require at least a 286SX.
I like PCC ("Personal C Compiler"), which when it was a commercial
product sold as DeSmet C. Try:
ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/simtelnet/msdos/c/pcc12c.zip
(which may or may not still be valid).
It is NOT an IDE ("integrated development environment") It is a command
line oriented compiler that takes a .C source file, and produces a .O
object file, which then needs to be run through the included BIND.EXE to
produce a .EXE
You can fit everything that you need on a 360K floppy.
Power C, by MIX software will also do the job. Borland turbo C 4.5 can compile
to an xt class target, I think, but it wants a 286 or better to run on.
