It may have been brain damaged but it compiled pretty tight code.
I spent at least 2 years writing code with BDS C, maybe more. Then moved
to a Unix PC and never looked back (rotating disk is a lot nicer than
floppies).
BDS C stood for Brain-Damaged Software, it was
the work of one guy (Leor
Zolman). I think it was used to build the Mark of the Unicorn stuff
(MINCE, Mince is not complete emacs, and Scribble, a scribe clone).
Correct. That's how I came in contact with it (and Emacs, for that
matter).
