DJGPP v1 was an unpleasant experience that inspired me to buy Borland 3.1. Speaking of Borland, TurboC, versions 1 through 2.01 are free for all from their museum site (somewhere at the main Inprise site, a quick search should get you there). 16 bit, no DPMI.

Not really. DJGPP v1 was an unpleasant experience that inspired me to buy
Borland 3.1. Speaking of Borland, TurboC, versions 1 through 2.01 are free
for all from their museum site (somewhere at the main Inprise site, a quick

There are numerous other free 16bit C compilers out there that vary widely
in usefulness and such, but you'd probably have to do some heavy duty mucking around
to find them these days.
