I am working with a Toshiba T3100 and using it as a parameter monitor on
a mobile robot. My question is:
What are the good C compilers for the MS-DOS environment?
Is Turbo-C out yet? Any good?
Microsoft?
Lattice?
I am sure this has been covered before, but I am new to the net.
Thanxs very much.

Lattice is also ok although, at last check, the code it produced wasn't quite as tight or fast. As a good option to "the two frontrunners", you might want to try Aztec-C from Manx. They have cross-compilers from-to almost any micro and a few mini's. They also have 80186 and 8286 compiler options on their MS-DOS compilers along with a ROMable code option that might be very useful if you are doing any prom work for your robot. You could use your T3100 for writing programs for MS-DOS -and- for your robot... --- John Stanley (john@viper.UUCP) Software Consultant - DynaSoft Systems UUCP: ...{amdahl,ihnp4,rutgers}!{meccts,dayton}!viper!john
