We just installed SCO Unix on our 386, and I noticed a dramatic improvement for 'rcc' versus MSC 5.1 (~2/3 execution time). Anyone compare rcc to other 32 bit compilers ? Also: the SCO development package uses MSC/Xenix C compiler as the default, and mentions switches for 386 code. MSC 5.1 under DOS has no such features. Anyone familiar with this? Is it possible to develop 32 bit code with MSC (it can be cross-developed to run under vanilla DOS on a 386 ...) ? Any advice on the least expensive (but not unreliable) 386 box/motherboard accomodating 4 Meg main memory, and 70+ Meg hard disk, >= 20 MHz CPU ? I have seen some DTK systems (20MHz, 40 Meg/28ms, mono, 1 Meg ram - $2k), but don't know if they can have 4 Meg of memory. (you can reply via E-mail about recommendations ...)
