Thanks! That's interesting indeed, but will you test it? There are so many other C compilers for DOS...

Btw: Here are some interesting chapters from the Digital Mars C++ manual.

Chapter Compiling Code

Excerpt:

This chapter describes how the compiler works by default and how to customize the compiler's output. It covers both 16-bit and 32-bit compilations.

(*) The Command Line
(*) A Simple Example
(*) Compilation Process
(*) Compiler Options
(*) Choosing a memory model
(*) Compiling for debugging
(*) Internationalization Options
(*) Compiling for floating-point emulation and math coprocessors

Chapter Choosing a Memory Model

Excerpt:

Digital Mars C++ is a comprehensive development system for the Intel 8086 family of processors. This chapter explains how to choose an appropriate memory model, so that you can create everything from small command line utilities to the largest and most complex applications.

(*) Memory models for DOS programs under 640KB.
(*) Memory models for DOS programs over 640KB.
(*) Memory models for Win16 programs.
(*) Memory models for Win32 programs.
(*) How Digital Mars C++ stores program data.
(*) How to mix memory models within a program by using type modifiers.

Chapter Switching to Digital Mars C++

Excerpt:

Digital Mars C++ offers numerous advantages over other compilers, both in programmer productivity and in the speed and robustness of generated code. Switching to Digital Mars C++ is well worth the effort. This chapter outlines general considerations for converting existing code.

What's in This Chapter

(*) Portable Programming Practices
(*) Converting from Microsoft
(*) Converting from Borland

Chapter Overview of Digital Mars C++ Runtime Library

Excerpt:

The runtime library contains a comprehensive set of functions and classes that support program development in C and C++. The library supports 16 and 32-bit protected mode applications, as well as 32-bit DOS-extended applications.

The library includes functions typically defined by ANSI standard or UNIX C libraries, plus enhancements to the standard set. It includes C++ classes for working with streams and for performing mathematical computations.

C functions can be called from either C or C++ programs, but the C++ classes can be used only with C++ programs.
