Word size problem with MSC

I am currently porting some code from a 32 bit Unix environmant
to a 16 bit MS-DOS environment and my target compiler is
Microsoft C. The problem I have encountered is the switch() function
in MSC (and in Turbo C for that matter) will only accept a 16 bit
integer argument. The code I am porting requires 32 bit values to
be used in a case statement.
Normally I would convert the case statement to a series of
if...else statements, but I have been informed that the part of the
code I am working on cannot be changed for reasons of future
compatability. Is there a patch for the MS C compiler, or some other
action, that will allow the switch() function to accept 32 bit
integers?
