I tried running bc under msdos 5.0 and still had the problem that the
compiler produced no object modules even though the code compiled
successfully. I got code and was able to run the program after
deselecting the "produce asm files" from the compiler options box.

DPMI.SYS does not appear to be available from software.watson.ibm.com.
Does anyone know where the file can be FTP'd from?
