I know of two that are quite functional.  Pascal compiler is Mystic
Pascal, an apparent clone of Turbo Pascal ver. 3 or less, available on
Simtel20 in the pd1:<msdos.pascal> directory.  C compiler is pcc12c.arc,
really a shareware version of the former commercial product DeSmet C,
also available from Simtel as pd1:<msdos.c>pcc12c.arc.  Both of these
work well, both have some limitations compared to current full-blown
commercial products.
