BDS C was pretty amazing, in spite of its limitations. And looking at the retro stuff, eg. David Lee's page, I'm surprised to see
just how large and robust the CP/M-80 world was. DR's code was *reliable*, in a way I simply did not appreciate at the time. So much stuff was so flaky! They set and met a high standard.
But then, yeah, you had to poke things int binaries and SAVE them! lol
