There does seem to be demand for SIOD on good old vanilla MS-DOS,
so here is my offer:

- You choose the C compiler you want me to use,
  and buy a copy of it from your local store and mail it to me.

- You tell me what memory models you want things optimized for.

- I port the latest SIOD, add compile time switches for the optimizations
  and memory models you want.

- provide you with source and binaries on floppies.

- Then make the new source and the binaries available on the net,
  including the usual ms-dos binary archives and perhaps compuserve.

--------

I never bothered doing this before because the WINDOWS NT port was
already done with SIOD 3.0 and WIN32 exists for MS-WINDOWS on INTEL,
and I remember that a previous SIOD compiled and ran quite easily
for me a few years back using the microsoft C for MS-DOS.
And Chicago is around the corner which will change everything.
Otherwise I would have at least done a Windows 3.1 SDK build of SIOD.

However, there is the issue of these 'palm-top' computers.
