[comp.sys.apple2] Coding on the //e,c,][gs and MS-DOS families

Tabakal@UB.CC.UMICH.EDU (09/14/90)

I have someone in my user group who wants to initiate a reasonably
large communications / scripting program for the Apple ][ and
MS-DOS families.  He has settled on C as the language of
portability and choice.  But, which flavor?  What do you recommend
for portability on both machines?  Ease of use is more important
than compatibility with files of other languages in their respective
families since this project will be starting from scratch.  Eventually,
he would like to have a moderate windowing application that would
be used mostly by school children.
