There's another free 32 bit C/C++/Objective-C compiler available, called
EMX/GCC. It's a port of GNU-CC V 2.5.4, and is able to create plain DOS
apps, bounded DOS/OS2 apps and OS/2 PM applications. The compiler and
tools run under DOS and OS/2, so it's ideal to port UNIX applications
either to DOS or OS/2.
And: The famous GDB (GNU source code debugger) works with this compiler,
it's even possible (under OS/2 !) to run the debugger in one text mode
window, and your application in another one.
But: EMX/GCC requires a 386/387 or a 486. You NEED a FPU to use it.
