> it was all about Borland compilers

I never said directly I was referring to Borland C, actually it was all about Turbo Basic and Turbo Pascal.

I and a few others did use Turbo C, but we jumped right into Turbo C++ the year thereafter, as we could not envision using plain C after having done systems programming in the other Borland languages.

C was left for programming classes, usually trying to convince the teacher to use C++ instead for projects, sadly it only worked occasionally.
