I'm planning to write for DOS using C, but really a 98 DOS-box.

I wrote a short 'hello world' program and didn't have any problems.

I've looked through the FAQ, but I couldn't(or didn't understand) the
answers I'm looking for.

    1. Compiling so I can debug with viewing code and assembly at once.  (I
think I need an                   object file and have to link it.  Can
someone help me here??

    2. What compiler options should I use for Pentium + systems??  I found a
menu in RHIDE that had optimizations -- so I clicked them all.

    3.  I could probably put more questions here, but I have not thought of
them yet :)   If you have any tips though, they would be greatly
appreciated.

I'm rather excited right now.  I've been wanting a 32-bit C compiler that
work with DOS.  I want to increase my little C knowledge,  but VC++ or
Borland C++ builder only let you do console apps, unless you want to learn
MFC, or Direct X, or something else to do anything fun :(    I'm happy to
take baby-steps right now....

Thanks again for any replies....
