Anybody has a MSVC v1.5 compiler? Is this the only compiler that can run on
native 16 bit DOS?

That would be Visual C++ v1.52 (product name).
It's available to MSDN subscription holders.
AFAIK, it's not available as a free download to the public.

This is a DOS compiler that produces 32-bit .exes for DOS. That is, a
386 and later microprocessor running DOS can execute the produced exes.

You can get it two ways, as far as I know:
1. Buy a current copy of Visual C++ and "downgrade" to 1.52c. You have to
call Microsoft to order the downgrade.
2. Get an MSDN subscription (Professional level or above).

The MSVC compiler does not run on a 16 bit platform.
It relies on a 32-bit DOS extender. It will generate code
that can be run on the 16-bit DOS platform.
If you are willing to compile on a modern Windows
platform (one offering the Win32 API), and merely
wish to *target* 16-bit DOS systems, then you may
want to consider the Digital Mars C++ compiler.
It can be downloaded for free starting at:
