I am currently seeking a C compiler for porting code developped under UNIX. Since the application uses quite a lot of memory, I'd like to use a C-compiler generating 386-protected code, together with a DOS extender if necessary, in order to get 32-bit longs and addresses. Working with HUGE model is insufficient and messy ( I don't want to rewrite my code ). I have a couple of quite BIG c-files, so I'm looking for a compiler which itself runs in protected mode OR AT LEAST has no limitation on file size. I've heard of WATCOM 8.0 as being a good candidate. Is it compatible with Windows 3 ? Does MSC 6.0 support protected mode ? Could someone give me an advice ( even concerning other compilers/DOS extenders)? Thanks in advance.
