Looking at my stash of 5.25" floppies, I have C 4.0, 5.0 and 6. I think the 32-bit VC++ came in with 7.0. which would account for the explosion in paper (Class libraries, etc.). 6.0 looks to be pretty straightforward and includes libraries and Workbench for OS/2 as well. Unless I've misplaced

Oh this brings back memories. Back in the 1980's I worked with Westinghouse/IRD and we used CC:Mail. When we partnered with Macro systems we tied the two together using a CC:Mail gateway package that ran over dialup modems. Moving into the 90's, the IEEE Computer Society was on CC:Mail in

These may all be dead short-circuited neurons, but IIRC there was a cc:Mail Gateway or Internet Gateway special product you needed to buy that would run on a dedicated PC box (under DOS?) and would talk in turn to your cc:Mail post office server and the 'net to exchange email messages in and out.
