Not totally. The install program for C5.0 would sieze my machine (an
IBM AT). Turns out it won't work if you have a Quadram EGA. I use many
graphics programs from other vendors on that EGA, and none of them
fail. I also have trouble with Codeview on it. Surprisingly, OS/2 will
work with it!

I've never tried Quickc, because I have an 80mb disk with a western
digital controller.
