A compiler you really should consider is TURBO C from Borland / Heimsoeth (???)
This is a german company; also all its documentation is in german.
The code is very fast; standard no assembler and debugger but separate
available. Assembly is not often needed as it has extensive libraries.
One drawback: its math libraries can't be to fast, as all fp calculations
are done in 80 bit IEEE format(i.e. extende format).
I just have this compiler a few days, but i am impressed by its speed
( both of the compiler and, but espescially, of the produced code).
Klamer.
PS I am not connected to the producer of the compiler
