S. Tucker Taft's company, SofCheck, has an Ada-to-ANSI-C compiler that 
should produce C that your C compiler could process. STT's e-mail 
address is stt-at-sofcheck-dot-com. (I haven't noted him posting here 
recently, so I've obsured the address.)

RR Software has a 16-bit DOS compiler available, if that will run on 
your target. Randy Brukardt is the contact there (randy@rrsoftware.com).
