Just recently, I decided that I needed a C compiler for my
PC.  My wife frequently uses it, and I'd like to write games
for my son.  I'd also like to do some stuff here before run-
ning it on the Sun I typically use on campus here at the
University of Chicago.

QUESTION:  What compiler for use under MS-DOS is the most
portable?  In other words, which will probably allow me to
do the most things with the biggest libraries, and yet still
offer me some degree of machine independence (i.e. let me
run things I write on my PC on the Sun at school with a
minimum of fuss).

Any ideas?
