The ideal would be to make it ONE FREE compiler/assembler/linker 
package.  The FreeDOS project uses Micro-C, Arrow ASM, and VAL link.  
All available from the freedos site.  Of course, even better would be 
an 8088-compatible gcc ;-)

Power is both corrupting and dangerous when unchallenged and
concentrated in the hands of the majority.  Voices of tolerance
and compassion are easily drowned.
