No, you can't use the SunOS 4.0 compiler to generate DOS executables. However, there are several companies that do Sun-based cross-compiler suites for this sort of thing. There are reasonably current versions of Lattice C and Microsoft C, as well as MASM, Microsoft's linker, and Phoenix's linker available on Sun-3's, so it shouldn't be long before they appear on the 386i. [Before anyone asks, I think the Microsoft stuff is available from Oasys. The Lattice and Phoenix versions were available directly from Lattice last time I checked. Unipress also sold them at one point, but I don't know if that's still true.] -- Matt Landau The happiest cold and lonely guy mlandau@bbn.com stuck in the Yukon without a dog.
