Depending on what you want to do with the code when you are done, you
might consider using DJGPP. It's a full 32 bit 386/486 compiler and
has good support for VGA graphics cards.

You can get it via anonymous ftp from most of the major ftp sites. But

    host:      barnacle.erc.clarkson.edu
    login:     ftp
    password:  send your e-mail address
    directory: ~ftp/pub/msdos/djgpp

is a good place to get it.

I've been playing with it and I'm pretty happy with it.
