ohhh.., I had forgotten about that! Writing fortran on a PC in DOS when a small canadian company developed QNX a unix based OS with a C compiler and full screen editor! Still a green cursor though...until the amber monitors came out. QNX became turbocharged when the intel 80286 came out and you could use the extra segment register to break the 64K memory barrier!
