We no longer offer this option for a dos hosted/targeted compiler. The old product was called FirstAda, which may be sitting around on a few shelves. We do still offer a cross development system hosted on DOS that can target 16 bit intel x86 processors of various flavors, as well as 16 bit DOS real mode applications, but it's a bit pricey for what the original poster seemed to be after. - Ed Falis Thomson Software Products
