Summary: Turbo C is pretty affordable/pretty good.


Tubo C from Borland International is a rather pleasant compiler for
MS-DOS based machines.  The list price is often discounted to $65
or less.  Turbo C is pretty full-featured and follows most of K&R
and/or ANSI.  The standard libaries supplied with turbo C compile
code that should run on most MS-DOS machines as DOS interrupts are
used rather than ROM BIOS calls or diddling with hardware.  I have
taken several Unix (tm AT&T) C programs and compiled them on an AT&
T 6300, then run on a DEC Rainbow arfter Kermit transfer.  I am not
primarily a programmer, but rather an engineer.  For a hacker such
as myself, I have found T-C very useful and affordable.  T-C's
manuals are also nicely arranged for C neophytes.
