Sorry, no way - all VC++ versions greater than 1.5x only produce 32bit exes ...

Do you mean select win32 console application? WHat i want to do is take some C++ code and create an executable that can be run under DOS. Is this possible?
It's possible to run console applications in DOS mode under Windows, but not when you are at the "pure" DOS mode.
That's what i said... 'pure' (i.e. 16bit) programs ___CANNOT___ be created by VC5

trillo:
>>I have VC++ 5.0, and I've made some DOS apps.
THIS IS DEFINITELY WRONG!!!
OK,OK,.... I misunderstood, I meant that I've made DOS apps to run under the Windows' DOS mode... (it all depends on what you call DOS in these days)
