40 MB total for Borland C++ 3.1 included all the Windows stuff.

IMHO DJGPP is the best alternative, especially since you then can (more or
less easy) port Linux programs to DOS (it requires a 386).

Would DJGPP work for Insight?

Regarding Perl, the site is http://www.perl.com
There was a DOS version compiled with DJGPP.  We can download, extract and see
if the Internet functionality includes DOS, and if it is possible to write a CGI
script for DOS.  I will be interested in the OS/2 part too, perhaps even more
than the DOS version.  Perl is open-source.
