MSVC

Version 6 was interesting in that it was both DOS and 16 bit OS/2. Version
7 was the first version of C++ and was for DOS/Win16 only. I think version
8 was the first version to carry the "Visual C++" label.

To the original poster, if Quick C is what you are looking for email me, I
think I have a couple around here. If Borland Turbo C would do as well you
can download versions 1 through (I think) 2.5 from the web. I've misplaced
the URL but perhaps some kind soul here will provide it.

Regards,
Bob
