You can definately run the Microsoft C & C++ compilers that come with Visual
C++ 6.0 from the command line:

C:\>type foo.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
{
 printf("Bar!\n");
 return 0;
}

C:\>cl foo.c
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 12.00.8804 for 80x86

foo.c
Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 6.00.8447
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1992-1998. All rights reserved.

/out:foo.exe
foo.obj

C:\>foo
Bar!

C:\>

This was done from a dos prompt started by the (freely
downloadable) platform SDK for WinME/2K/...
Applicable env. variables are set like %include%and %path%
