[ description of how hard it is to compile stuff under Windows ]

I don't understand this. I'm running Intuition, which does everything that
Windows does. I can compile and bind in 512K, using the Manx compiler, on
a 68000. The 68000 is *not* as powerful as the 80386, even in 80286 mode.

Does DOS compatibility really cost that much? And if so, is it worth it?
