Writing MS-DOS programs using a Windows environment

is there any way to write 16-bit MS-DOS programs using a Windows environment? I mean, without using a DOSBox + for instance Turbo Assembler and TurboC.

My requirement is to be able to run the program on a 386 running a version of MS-DOS. This could be achieved using DOSBox but I want to write the program in a Windows environment to be able to use my favourite editor and tools.

The program should be in C and assembler (or just assembler). Any ideas?

Thanks :)

[1] Use DOSBOX, but follow this...

...to share files with your favorite editor. Of course this would mean that you will need to switch to DOSBOX for compilation.

[2] Use a cross platform compiler like OpenWatcom...

.. and tweak your editor/tools to call the right parameters for the compiler :-)
