I am looking for information on MS-DOS compilers capable of generating 
iAPX386 code.  Pointers to reviews, products that are good, or ones I should
steer away from would be helpful.  Features that interest me are:

- Ease of conversion from MS-FORTRAN.
- Quality of generated code in terms of speed.
- Support for more than 640k of real memory.
- Virtual memory support.

I am interested on products that generate code that take advantage of the
386 32 bit instructions, so iAPX86 compilers don't interest me.
