Compile for 16-bits 386 borad

[Romain TAILLANDIER]

Hi group,

I have to make C (yes the old C) for a TinyPC
(http://www.data-modular.com/tinyboxf.htm).
it seems to be an x86 embedded with DOS 6.22.

My question is : as far as i can compile for PDA in x86, can i compile some
C for dos 6.22, using Visual studio .net ?
I have tested Visual studio 1.52, and i don't want to develop using this old
environement.
i just need some ideas. thanks

No. Visual 1.52 is the last MS compiler that targeted 16 bits
platforms.

- Use VC.NET IDE and build from the command line using VC 1.52.
- Use another "old" C bits compiler such as djgpp, with whatever ide
you like (Visual or another).

No.

There may be other DOS C compilers from other vendors, but none from
Microsoft more recent than the one you say that you don't want to use.

I'm sure the constructor could advice you on whoch tools to use.
I'll bet you could use GCC (http://gcc.gnu.org)
