A MUCH better solution is to add 1Mb of Extended or Expanded memory.
I use TC++ on an AT&T 6300 (8 MHz 8086, 640 kb, 1 Mb EMS, slow 20 Mb
disk). It is quite usable for moderate-sized C++ programs (4,000 lines
in 8 files), and larger C programs (25,000 lines in 50 files, using
make and tcc).

I use make/tcc on the C program, because I never botherd to learn
the tc environment in TC 1.0-2.0. I use the TC++ environment for the
C++ program, because I started learning C++ on small programs, and
learned the tc environment at the same time. I have now used the
TC++ environment for a 1000-line yacc/C program, with good results.
