The assembler should be free of course. Also, the old RxDOS is bugged.

Good, but aren't they just MASM 1 clones ???

> TC 2.01 or TC++ 1.01 can run on 8086, but they are closed source.

Bad

There used to be WATCOM C 16 compiler 20 years ago :-|

Not major problem for me ...

> Of course, FreeCOM 0.84-pre2 needs 186+ for having all

Considering the huge improvements in 80186 :-D

Why don't those who have 80386 test it ???

Occasional retests would be good ...

> 32 MB + data = what, 64? Unlikely that any 486 has that. I think even

16 MiB EXE + 16 MiB data ( + the DeLL HeLL if HX is used ) ;-)
