I would have said it was not possible, as gcc is pretty much 32 bits and up only, but now that you mention it, there are MDs for Hitachi H8 etc. If you don't want to run BCC under dosemu, you could look at the free C compiler that the Linux ELK project uses for the 8086. I'm not sure if it is full ISO though. > > -- > > Rob. (Robert de Bath <http://www.cix.co.uk/~mayday>) > > > > Regards M.Beach
