At College they used 386s and 486s running DOS and Windows 3.1. At home I used an Amiga 1200. The two are not exactly compatible. I would routinely be given assignments, have to write them in QuickBasic for class and would have to spend half a day at college instead of at home. I didn't have a Microsoft Basic variant (other than GW-BASIC which wasn't quite compatible) and used AMOS instead to test the algorithm, then rewrite in QuickBasic. I tried submitting work in C but my lecturer would refuse to accept them as we hadn't covered that module yet. In the end I wrote an AMOS -> QuickBasic converter in C, first for DICE C on Amiga, then tweaked for Turbo C on the PC. I could then do the rest of my coursework at home on my Amiga, instead of the grubby old slow 386s.
