I used Borland C++ 4.52 and Borland C++ 5.02 for DOS apps (although I
never did anything with the mouse).  IIRC, any of the Borland C++
compilers that predated C++ Builder, with the excption of Turbo C++ for
Windows (I think that's what it was called) will do DOS.  But I
personally have the most experience with the two versions I mentioned.
4.52 was probably a little more stable, but 5.02 wasn't bad in that
regard and its support for the C++ language was closer to the standard.
