    1:  Use DJGPP this is a C++ compilor that generates 386 32bit
        mode code in protected mode and most importantly it will
        just cost you time to set up.  It's GNU aka free.
    2:  I do not recomened you write your own protected mode
        code since this is VERY tricky.
    3:  to write code that takes advantage of the 32 bit mode you
        do not have to use a special compilor JUST USE 32 bit
        instructions!
    4:  If you plan on using > 640k of code you WILL need a "dos
        extender".  I think DJGPP comes with one.
