Hi,

This must be a FAQ, but I don't know the FGA (Frequently Given Answer :-).

What's the best C compiler for a 386 with 5Mb?
- Turbo C 2.0
- Borland/Turbo C++ 3.0
- Borland/Turbo C 3.1
- Watcom C 9.0
- Zortech C++ 3.04
- Zortech C

I am used to Turbo Pascal (5.5), so I am slightly biased towards Borland
since I already know its user interface. But I've heard it's HUGE (>30Mb).
Furthermore, I don't think I am going to use C++ (at least, not yet), just
plain C. But if you think I should, let me know as well...

Furthermore, what's the main diff between 'Borland' stuff and 'Turbo' stuff?

Thank in advance,
Marcel.
