Since I will be writing system software with this, I would like the ability to imbed assembly code. This should preferably produce Intel-format source and object code, and be mated with a reasonable assembler and linker. Since I will also be writing applications with this, I would also like a fairly normal Unix-like C library. It would also be very helpful if it used Unix format libraries. I talked to OASYS, who markets a Wizard C Compiler which sounds like what I want, but it's fairly expensive, especially considering that it's per-cpu priced, and we have quite a few cpus. Has anyone out there had experience with the Wizard C Compiler? If you have a different system to recommend, please let me know. Please reply to me, and I will summarize to the net if enough others are interested. Also, any comments from people who have written operating systems for the 286 in C would be appreciated.
