I tried DJGPP before.  I really want it again.  However, it is quite large and I don't currently have high-sd inene access, and I want something small and fo real-mode DOS.

I have them.  They're good enough for now, but I want to upgrade to 386+.

Didn't find the DOS vesion.  :(

I just looked there.  I don't mind the lack of an IDE or useful debugging support, but I want a 16-bit C compiler.

I have that, too, but I have had problems with optimizations.  It's still useful, though.

BTW, I'm looking for TSR and device driver support.  I was working on file compression, but it didn't work out.  Maybe in the futureI'm also looking for a compiler that doesn't have to be installed, for I need to transport it to systems on which I'm no allowed to install anything.  Not only that, but I have a DOS-based laptop with which I want to play/work/make useful.
