"It was designed to make it easy to write quick, "one-off" programs in C."

OK, so it just so happens this is what I love to do. I like writing small programs and continually trying to improve them.

So I guess I should be a UNIX user?

Is NT not good for this too?

BTW, I do like VMS. But despite the NT kernel, using NT feels nothing like using VMS.

I love writing NT-style C-level (no CRT, just pure C and whatever the CNF/Cutler Normal Form style is).
