Bingo. I love programming for early DOS systems (86, 286, 386) but it's difficult to find a tool-chain that runs on Linux and is able to produce DOS compatible binaries. I think OpenWatcom might but I could not get it to work correctly.

Definitely going to give this a try.

If you have not yet done so, may I suggest you investigate 'Dessqview/X'. Lovely stunts there.
