OpenWatcom, of course!! How could I forget! I just passed there a moth ago,
thinking it was a nice thing to open up Watcom C++. But does it also do
16bit exe's? As far as I know, it only uses DOS-extenders such as DOS/4GW,
right?

Yes, I know DJGPP pretty well. When the Quake source was released, I played
with it for while. It's also the first thing to use with the Allegro
library.

But in fact, I actually DO need a realmode compiler... should have mentioned
that of course.

Believe me or not, but I queried your Bugzilla for some of these things, and
didn't find anything. But I will try better next time, I promise!  :-)
