Since you run Linux, consider DOSEmu to boot FreeDOS. I do this on my system. It allows me to do most/all my development activities on Linux, but do the final compile under FreeDOS. The default on DOSEmu is _not_ to use a drive image, so it just reads/writes in your Linux $HOME. My DOSEmu C: drive is $HOME/Applications/freedos/dosemu/freedos/, for example.
That makes it very easy to use emacs or whatever programmer's editor to edit your source files directly from Linux. If your programs don't require DOS interrupts or a specific DOS library (or if you can emulate that with a similar library under Linux) then you can do all your test compiles and debugging under Linux with gcc. I still recommend doing a final compile under FreeDOS, using OpenWatcom or your favorite compiler.
