It sounds as though you need a 32-bit Extended DOS C compiler.  The
two I like are Intel 386/486 C Code Builder and DJGPP.  Code Builder
will generate 32-bit flat memory model programs that will run in
dos sessions under Windows and OS/2.  DGJPP programs a 32-bit flat
memory model, but they will not run under Windows or OS/2.  Code Builder
costs about $300.  DJGPP is free (it's based on the GNU C compiler).
DJGPP also supports C++, which Code Builder does not.  Code Builder's
debugger, which looks like an early version of MS CodeView, is kind of
lame.

Other 32-bit dos compilers come from Zortech, MetaWare, Watcom, and
Microway.  They are more expensive (Zortech is about $500 and the others
start at about $800).
