[net.wanted] Info on C compilers and databases for IBM PC wanted

<.................. for line eaters only ..................>

I am in progress of initiating a project requiring a C compiler and an
information database for the IBM PC XT.  As this is the first time I use
the IBM PC, I request information from you people out in netland about
experiences of using various C compilers and databases on the IBM PC.

I have PC-DOS v.2.0 and are forced to use this or newer versions of PC-DOS
(no UN*X for the near future).  I'm especially interested in getting
information on various C compilers and databases available for the PC,
sales organization, prices, performance, amount of bugs/deficiencies,
friendliness of use etc.

I've recently also purcased Pascal MT+ (TM) of Digital Resarch Corp.
Does anybody have any opinions about this compiler compared with other
Pascal compilers/interpreters for the PC, for example Turbo Pascal?

Thanks in advance!
