I did a lot of programming on DOS, both professionally and for pleasure. Clipper databases, the descendent of dBase, was the day job. I learned C programming, starting with the Microsoft compilers Quick C and MSVC, moving on to various other compilers.
Wordperfect 5.1 was in use every day, along with the WordPerfect Editor for programming and other plain text files. Lotus 1-2-3 was used all the time because I developed and taught classes in it. Creating a sophisticated 1-2-3 spreadsheet (lots of macros) for a major company was my first job when I started my own business. A huge help to me was DesqView, enabling me to switch between text editor, compiler and command line, all open at the same time. I've never used an IDE since.
