DOS

I started with DOS at work I think in the late 80s, eventually I picked up a 286 for use at home. Not long afterwards I went to Coherent/286. Eventually I went to a 386/SX for use with Coherent/386 then to Slackware.

Along side with IN/ix, I also learned some c on this system using Zortech c version 1 (not c++). Zortech c had one thing that was very nice, it had a series of functions that started with "disp", these were clones of printf, getc with cursor positioning. With these I was able to create a series of nice interactive utilities.

I wish UNIX curses had these type of functions.
