It was both fun and frustrating. :D We decided to use C++, before the first ANSI standard was finalized. We had to modify our code each time we upgraded the compiler.

I got to know the DOS interupts very well. Ralf Brown's Interrupt List was a frequent reference. I implemented code to play music and digital audio (recorded voice work) using Soundblaster cards. I wrote my first software installer. And when we were ready to beta test, we bought a CDR recorder, which were $1,500 US (for a cheap one) at the time.

Lots of "firsts" for me at that job. ;)
