So I just wanted to make a simple suggestion although there are a multitude of compilers capable of making 16bit code none of them can compare to the price of djgpp, except maybe one... Mix Softwares Power C compiler. Now its not free but you get the compiler and a reference book on the compiler and C in general with it for $19.95 and then the debugger is another $19.95 ( but of course the debugger is NOT necessary ) then if you really want to you can buy the library source code for another ten bucks!!! If you want to check it out see them at http://mixsoftware.com or call them at 1-800-333-0330 No I dont work for MIX or any other software company, but I don't feel that people who are trying to write code for a non-32bit machine should be forced to buy a $90+ compiler if you can find one that cheap. If you don't like my suggestion don't spam or flame if you like it drop a simple thank-you email if you like.
