I have Turbo C and MSC Both. In trying to determine which one builds the 
tighter code, I compiled MicroEMACS 3.10 (Beta) under MSC. I used the maximum
optimizations on both. MSC Failed with an internal compiler error. Without 
optimizations, it compiled and linked, but, alas, Emacs would crash. The
Turbo C compiled version works fine. I have been using it as my editor at work
for over a year. The Turbo C version was also 10K smaller. I don't know if
MicroEMACS is really a good benchmark, but it's big and is supported by 
a variety of compilers on various platforms.

BTW - I used TC 2.0 and MSC 5.1
