Neat. Makefiles could be a class all by itself. :)

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.

Eh? I've NEVER seen Quick C in
"mainstream" use. You sure you're not
thinking of Turbo C?
I used early Quick C and TurboC interchangeably for quick and dirty tasks
(NOT for retail products). I settled on TurboC for teaching beginning C
classes when Borland started making free download available. But, I also
REQUIRED each student to write at least one homework assignment using a
command line compiler (I recommended GCC and DeSmet "PersonalC")
Quick C and QB
were _completely_ different product lines and languages.
What was the relationship to "EDIT" in MS-DOS?
