I'm posting a question for a friend.
My friend, who owns a Tandy 1000, is looking for recommendations
for a good C compiler for MS-DOS machines. He's especially interested
in portability - probably because he spends time on my UNIX pc and
would like to be able to move code between machines.
Please mail replies to me or directly to him. We'll post a
summary if people express an interest.

Tubo C from Borland International is a rather pleasant compiler for MS-DOS based machines. The list price is often discounted to $65 or less. Turbo C is pretty full-featured and follows most of K&R and/or ANSI. The standard libaries supplied with turbo C compile code that should run on most MS-DOS machines as DOS interrupts are used rather than ROM BIOS calls or diddling with hardware. I have taken several Unix (tm AT&T) C programs and compiled them on an AT& T 6300, then run on a DEC Rainbow arfter Kermit transfer. I am not primarily a programmer, but rather an engineer. For a hacker such as myself, I have found T-C very useful and affordable. T-C's manuals are also nicely arranged for C neophytes. --Bill (wtm@neoucom.UUCP)
