I recommend that you go to
http://www.borland.com/ -> community -> museum -> there you can
download Turbo C 2.01, Turbo C++ 1.02, Turbo Pascal 5.5 ... and you
do not even have to become a community member anymore (although that
does not really hurt either, only a newsletter few times per year).
It is a classic and it has an IDE and it is 16bit.

For 32bit, you can of course use DJGPP, the DOS version of gcc/g++
with an RHIDE IDE or maybe SETEDIT.sourceforge.net ...

You can also use OpenWatcom, which can do both 16bit and 32bit, but
that is at least 4 MB of download even if you only want 16bit, I
think. So it plays in a similar "league" as DJGPP (which cannot do
16bit at all).

You can also check http://www.freedos.org/ -> software -> compilers.

Eric.
