  Hi!  I'm new to the PC world and I am interested in buying a C-compiler for
  my 386 SX.  I've been told that Borland C++ is a good choice, but I'd like
  a few opinions on C compilers before I rush out and buy Borland.  What I'd
  like to know is the  advantages and disadvantages of each, as well as 
  compatability and portability with respect to the source code.  Responses
  are appreciated by e-mail or news ( I'm sure others might be interested in 
  this topic). 
   Thanks in advance..
