I used HC extensively, both by itself and with code resources that I wrote in Pascal or C. I certainly pushed it way beyond its capabilities, by using the parse-able pieces of text strings as crude data structures. What unreadable code I wrote. But HC was a great way to write small but useable programs for people. I switched to Visual Basic when it came out. VB did a lot of what HC could do, plus it had more traditional structures, and was more than grudgingly supported.
