You get Microsoft C-Merge, which can compile programs for execution under
either Xenix or MS-DOS. Of course, when you specify the -DOS flag, you
get different libraries that support a slightly different set of calls.
C-merge is very similar to the 3.0 release of Microsoft C for MS-DOS.

Not yet. It has been announced in the latest issue of their magazine
diSCOver, and should be available in a few months. If you want '386
support now, you can buy Xenix/286 and the 386 developers toolkit. This
will give you the 386 compiler, plus a minimal kernel for testing your
software. With this route, you can have your software all ready when
they start shipping Xenix/386.
