Sorry, but I have the MSC 5.0 user's guide in front of me and see no
reference to generating code for the 80386. It will generate code
for the 80286, however. MASM 5.0 can generate code for 80386.

If the 80386 is running in 8086 mode, as nearly all are, and running DOS, then MS C 5.0 will generate code that will run on an 80386 machine. However, if one wants to run the 80386 in protected mode (OS/2), then one needs the OS/2 C compiler (or the Xenix C compiler if running Xenix, etc.) The MS's DOS 5.0 C compiler will only generate code for 8088/86/286/386 machines running in 8086 mode under MS/PC DOS.

I have a PC-AT clone (PC's Limited) , ATI EGA wonder board running in the enhanced mode (EGA, etc.). When I do _setvideomode(_ERESCOLOR) I get nada as they say in Spanish. When I do it with in.h.ah=0; in.h.al=16; int86(16,&in,&out); where in and out are the register unions it works. I can't get _floodfill or _lineto to work in EGA modes. PLEASE tell me someone that the jerks didn't limit these functions to CGA and lesser modes. (Yes I have done _setfillmask and _setcolor). HELP!! Bob
