Keywords: Can MSC generate ROMable code?

A friend of mine is a consultant and has a contract that requires him
to generate ROMable code for a '186 based SBC.  Microsoft C V4.0, with
Codeview, etc., seemed a good bet.  In fact, Microsoft (in one of its
marketing glossies) claims it can generate ROMable code.

Alas, in none of the documentation binders is there any information on
how to do it or if it is even possible.  Microsoft support, in their
typical fashion, claims they don't support ROMable code other than by
supplying the code for the startup routine (how do they get away with
biting the hands that feed them all the time).

Needless to say, my friend is more than annoyed, especially since there
are existing compilers costing 75% less than MSC V4.0 that generate
ROMable code.

Can anyone shed light on this?
