,,,             Microsoft 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 Linux.

 Alongside 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.
