[comp.os.msdos.programmer] looking for 386-protected mode C compilers

JeanYves.Cras@cediag.bull.fr (Jean-Yves Cras) (10/04/90)

I am currently seeking a C compiler for porting code developped under UNIX.
Since the application uses quite a lot of memory, I'd like to use a
C-compiler generating 386-protected code, together with a DOS extender
if necessary, in order to get 32-bit longs and addresses. Working with
HUGE model is insufficient and messy ( I don't want to rewrite my code ).
I have a couple of quite BIG c-files, so I'm looking for a compiler
which itself runs in protected mode OR AT LEAST has no limitation on
file size.
I've heard of WATCOM 8.0 as being a good candidate. Is it compatible with
Windows 3 ?
Does MSC 6.0 support protected mode ? 
Could someone give me an advice ( even concerning other compilers/DOS
extenders)? 
Thanks in advance.
