Watcom C is available which is pretty good. You can also get GCC for
DOS as well...

Subject: C Compilers for (MS)DOS
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?
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...

Wasn't the old full Borland C++ package pretty much the standard (and most
supported for DOS) back in those days? I still see the Borland packages
commanding some money on ebay while the cheaper Turbo C from the same
company is not in that much of a demand

I've seen TC 2.5 for download somewhere, though I can't recall where at the
moment...
And MSC 6.
