   They had to be compatible with the set of libraries you used, and your   
   application. Most of ours used LabWindows, probably version 1 or 2.   
   Maybe 3? I don't remember.   
      
   I used a stub program that run the menu (and initial data taking), then   
   offloaded itself and called another exe with the next section.   
      
   I don't remember using a dos extender with it. Wikipedia says there was   
   one in version 2.

   I remember it used basic or C. I switched to C with Borland C.
