A job advertised today in New Zealand requires someone who has 
knowledge of Borland C for DOS, (why oh why did use Microsoft C and I 
still have the manual, demo programs on DOS palette management).

This isn't that surprising as I've noticed that some petrol stations 
(and from working on them) race track terminals still uses either DOS 
based programs or OS2.

Just in case anyone here is into RS232 via DOS here is part of the job 
ad.

"
Software Engineer
 
An immediate start for a Software Engineer with an intermediate level 
of commercial experience and in depth knowledge of Borland C for DOS 
to design and implement software solutions for new and existing 
products.

It would also be valuable to have experience with ISO communications 
protocols as, working in a small team; the immediate work is to 
implement a new communications suite for a set of DOS based platforms 
over an asynch RS232 pipe running over radios. The suite will cover 
everything from high level user interface, including message logs and 
setup areas, down through addressing and retries and finally at the 
base layers of forward error correction methodology and port access. "
