 SB> The only affordable package I know of that supports multiple
 SB> platforms is Watcom C/C++.  It costs around 200$ (100$ for students).
 SB> It supports Dos 16 and 32 bit, Windows 3.1, Win32 (don't know the
 SB> version level), Win95, WinNT, OS/2 16 and 32 bit.

That might do the trick -- I'm not a student, but I teach some classes and
have a faculty ID.

 TA> I've been using GCC/EMX, but it's not up to this task.

 SB> What problems do you have with it?

No .h or lib files for PM API (as far as I know). Also no resource compiler
or a resource editor. It's great for console apps, though.

 SB> By the way, v09c has been
 SB> released and some report that compile times for C++ programs is very
 SB> much improved (probably due to an improved implementation of malloc).

I'll have to try it out.
