Man, this reminds me of how much I loved Borland's OWL in school. When I entered the workforce, I was forced to use MFC and I was probably the worst kind of coworker to be around at that time.
- zwieback 5y agoBoy, forgot about OWL, I loved that. I remember the reworked version without the custom C++ language extension for event handlers wasn't quite as magical.

- dugmartin 5y agoI made a good bit of money in undergrad and grad school building software in Turbo Vision in the early 90s. The biggest project was writing all the software included with this college textbook: https://www.betterworldbooks.com/product/detail/quality-control-0135011159 https://www.betterworldbooks.com/product/detail/quality-cont.... I found out later that the software in that book ended up being used in industry, including Jim Beam (the whiskey brand) using it in their distillery.
