Borland (http://www.borland.com) has, in their "software museum",a
copy of TurboC++ 1.01
(http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,21751,00.html). Which
still runs on DOS-compatible machines, including Windows NT(!).


So you could run this under some DOS emulator on Linux (Bochs or maybe
Wine).


Or heck, if you have a copy of MSC7, by all means, run that on Bochs
(which should work, but slowly) or Wine (which may or may not work for you).

You mean Linux cross-compilers producing DOS 5.0 code? Pretty rarefied
topic, if I might say so..
