 I have found that Microsoft has the best C.  If have used both it and
 the lattice compilers.  Also, since Microsoft controls the operating
 systems, when it makes a change to DOS (e.g. DOS 5) they will be the
 first to update their C for it.

 I have also had very good luck in taking sources from UNIX and compiling
 them on DOS with the Microsoft Compiler.
