I have to log in now, I don't remember that, but it's free anyway.
I was going to suggest this, but I thought I might have been seriously wrong
about the Visual C thing....

Version 6 was interesting in that it was both DOS and
16 bit OS/2. Version
7 was the first version of C++ and was for DOS/Win16 only. I think version
8 was the first version to carry the "Visual C++" label.
To the original poster, if Quick C is what you are looking for email me, I
think I have a couple around here. If Borland Turbo C would do as well you
can download versions 1 through (I think) 2.5 from the web. I've misplaced
the URL but perhaps some kind soul here will provide it.

You're probably thinking of Microsoft Quick C
for DOS.
It had a "low-resolution" (character) graphics interface
and was available for DOS as well as Windows 3.1.
If you search the Internet for surplus software sites,
you might find a copy around; I seem to remember seeing
some sites in the past that had older stuff like this,
but I don't recall exactly where.
If you are comfortable with a command-line interface,
Microsoft C Version 6.0 was probably best version of
Microsoft C before Visual C++ (Version 8) came out.
