Okay I see your point.  The same is true for OS/2 is it not?  I did have a
copy, I think I still might somewhere in this mess, but it has been quite
some time since I've seen an OS/2 system up close.  I was considered
putting Watcom C on it but it was a bit pricey at the time and Linux was
just starting to look attractive.  So ye ol' 486 more or less went straight
from DOS to Linux with a brief interlude trying to install OS/2 in between.
 I had a problem with a large HD and the bios and the bootloader wouldn't
boot after an install.  I tried about three or four times before
surrendering.  It's been Linux ever since here, although the 486 and the
drive have long since passed on.

Aren't there crosscompilers or variants of gcc for Windows and/or OS/2? 
DJGPP was the closest to gcc I could find for DOS back then.  Does that
still exist?

Life is good,
Maurice
