C is not a typical programming language on DOS. Similar to ncurses it
stems from Unix. But of course there are C compilers and *curses versions
for DOS.

Didn't Borland open-source or freeware license Turbo C++ ? The cheaper Borland C++ ? If I remember that right and you can find it, it might be the compiler that was used.


Have a nice day :)
