The best compilers available generate only 32-bit code, and are aware of the latest Pentium / Pentium-Pro speed issues. To find a 16-bit compiler, you'll have to find one that is several years old, no upgrade planned ever, and it will probably ask you if you want to optimize for 8086, 80286 or 80386. Amir
