-
- two superb systems for students
- in
- shareware
- which should run on your
- 286
- are
- DeSmet pcc
- and
- pacific ppd
- .
-
- (pcc requires your additional editor,
- but is otherwise complete enough
- to be effective.)
-
- each of these is a very generally
- capable development system that
- produces standalone
- .exe
- executables.
-
- pcc implements old style
- k&r(1) traditional 'c' in
- small model
- .
-
- pacific implements more modern
- 'c'
- in
- small, large model
- .
-
- pacific includes a, rather snazzy,
- integrated development environment.
-
- mix is beautiful, and low cost,
- but is not shareware or such.
- (similarly, mix power 'c' should
- work on your
- 286
- .)
