JS> What are the best compilers under dos that are command driven, not gui?

     I may name you three compilers for DOS for C/C++.

1. DJGPP. This is GCC, adopted for DOS, and works under DOS extender and
makes programs for 386+ with DOS extender.

2. Turbo C 2.0. This compiler is released for free use by Borland (search in
Borland Museum). AFAIR, Borland also makes free Turbo C++ 1.0.

3. OpenWatcom. Works under 386+, but may make programs for 8086.

     For DOS may be founded also other compilers for other languages (for
example, Borland makes free Turbo Pascal 5.5).

     No. Fot this purpose you should use 3rd party libraries.
