AT&T does have a software generation system (SGS) called Basic-16 which
we use to generate code for an 8086.  I think it has all the characteristics
covered.

I'm looking for a C compiler for the IBM PC, PC-DOS,
with the following characteristics:

  1)  cross compiler, must run under UNIX
  2)  supports the huge memory model
  3)  produce reasonably efficient code

But given the previous discussion on the net, one might
suspect that such a beast does not exist at all ...
