Mine was done in Borland C++ 3.1 with Turbo Vision, which is a stable
platform that I really enjoy using. The project's at about 3000 lines at
this point, though, and compile times on my 486SX/25 are not pretty. Some
of the biggest breakthroughs in the project came when I was working on my
uncle's DX2/66. I have two dozen more important things lined up for the
summer so I'm fairly certain I'm not going to get it done. It's something
that really should be done, of course, and I feel some compulsion to either
finish it or pass it off at some point, so we'll see what happens.
