If you had asked last week, I would have had no idea.  Fortunately, I
just bought myself an AT clone, tried my first compile, and had a brief
attack of panic.  ("Oh no, it's not even compatible with the Microsoft
C compiler!")

Check your CONFIG.SYS file -- if you don't have a FILES= line, the default
number of files won't be enough for the C compiler to work.  Try FILES=32.
