Yes, Borland "Turbo" C was another massively popular choice.
But you can't simultaneously argue that C wasn't used for PC platform development in the 1980's and that Borland C was dominant.
- pjmlp 11y ago> it was all about Borland compilers I never said directly I was referring to Borland C, actually it was all about Turbo Basic and Turbo Pascal. I and a few others did use Turbo C, but we jumped right into Turbo C++ the year thereafter, as we could not envision using plain C after having done systems programming in the other Borland languages. C was left for programming classes, usually trying to convince the teacher to use C++ instead for projects, sadly it only worked occasionally.
