Best C tools for a complete DELL or ESIX developer's
system? Would prefer something comparable to Borland
C++ but for UNIX. Is there no comparison? Why not?
Price is a major concern. I'm new to the X world,
want to learn serious coding. Developing a career.

On a related point, is 4 MB RAM and 100 MB HD in a
20 Mhz 386DX enough for the DELL two-user UNIX set?
How much HD space & RAM would DELL require? ESIX?
What drives and systems work with DELL's $995 set?
What more hardware might one need? And software?
Hope to purchase complete UNIX in a year or so.

Post if of common interest only; email welcome.
