Ignoring the nice work of PowerPlant , Turbo Vision and Object Windows Library, because they were too high level for C devs.

So Microsoft ripped off their Application Frameworks (Afx) prototype and we got MFC instead.

OWL and TurboVision... now these are names I haven't heard in a long time. I remember the company I interned at was looking for TurboVision programmers at some point, none were found, soin a true Russian fashion they just wrote their own clone of it.

I used Turbo Vision in Turbo Pascal 6/7, then migrated to Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5 with OWL and eventually to Turbo C++ 3.1 with OWL.
