Howdy boys and girls,

I need to write some memory intensive programs for use on a 386
clone.  I have access to some older compilers (Microsoft C and 
Fortran) that seem to have been designed with the 286 in mind.  My
question is whether there are any products that will allow me to
use my current compilers to create large programs (over 2 Meg) and
then run them under DOS 4.01.  I know I can get 386 specific versions
of languages (like WATCOM) that can be used with a DOS extender to 
achieve this, but the price is quite high.  Your help is appreciated.
