I have a box of MS C v5.0. IIRC it's on

The last (1.52c/8.00c?) version of 16-bit MSVC is available free for
download if you know a MSDN subscriber.
It's listed as Visual C++ 1.52.
I'd still recommend Open Watcom - it wipes the floor with just about every
other DOS based C compiler out there. It'll also generate Win16/32
binaries and OS/2 if memory serves.
I was playing around with Open Watcom last night, but couldn't get my head
wrapped around the weird way it expects Makefiles to be written. Turbo C++
Makefiles are essentially plain old Posix.
Why not just grab the GNU make (there has to be a DOS port around
somewhere) and use that? Even Borland's make should do the job, just call
Watcom instead.
