I recommend that you go to http://www.borland.com/ -> community -> museum -> there you can download Turbo C 2.01, Turbo C++ 1.02, Turbo Pascal 5.5 ... and you do not even have to become a community member anymore (although that does not really hurt either, only a newsletter few times per year). It is a classic and it has an IDE and it is 16bit. For 32bit, you can of course use DJGPP, the DOS version of gcc/g++ with an RHIDE IDE or maybe SETEDIT.sourceforge.net ... You can also use OpenWatcom, which can do both 16bit and 32bit, but that is at least 4 MB of download even if you only want 16bit, I think. So it plays in a similar "league" as DJGPP (which cannot do 16bit at all). You can also check http://www.freedos.org/ -> software -> compilers.
