I'm looking for a C compiler for a PC XT that will allow me to write
software that runs both on the PC (MSDOS) and on 4.2 BSD on a 780,
without too many headaches.  I'd be willing to make up for small
differences in the header files.  I also want easy low level IO port
access on the PC: reading and writing bytes in the IO address space.

I prefer a `cc' command line interface to a separate `programming
environment.'  Borland Turbo C apparently allows this, and is
reasonably priced.  Would some Turbo C users please comment on the
merits or flaws in this compiler?
