| Need a new compiler I've writing software to run on an SBC running DOS 6.2. I've been using Borland Turbo C 3.0 compiler. I've just got a new laptop with Vista, and the Borland compiler will not run on it. So I'm looking for a new compiler to use. Any suggestions? |

| So which machine are you going to run the code on?

| But if Bladactania still wants to run code on the SBC, the choice is a lot more restricted.

| What if you install VMWare or MS Virtual PC and install DOS on it and do your compiling inside the virtual machine?

| Change your OS to XP 32 bit, and your Borland C will run fine. |

| I was considering simply installing XP as well as Vista 64-bit so I could boot to either... |
