We just installed SCO Unix on our 386, and I noticed a dramatic improvement
for 'rcc' versus MSC 5.1 (~2/3 execution time). Anyone compare rcc to other 32
bit compilers ?

Also: the SCO development package uses MSC/Xenix C compiler as the default, and
mentions switches for 386 code. MSC 5.1 under DOS has no such features. Anyone
familiar with this? Is it possible to develop 32 bit code with MSC (it can be
cross-developed to run under vanilla DOS on a 386 ...) ?

Any advice on the least expensive (but not unreliable) 386 box/motherboard
accomodating 4 Meg main memory, and 70+ Meg hard disk, >= 20 MHz CPU ?
I have seen some DTK systems (20MHz, 40 Meg/28ms, mono, 1 Meg ram - $2k), but
don't know if they can have 4 Meg of memory.
(you can reply via E-mail about recommendations ...)
