Weird. They had to use Assembler for pretty much everything. They used those processors and.... I don't even know which OS, but they had a lot of Unix. Probably device drivers, but Unix has always been mostly C (actually the original Unix was not, but it was rewritten in C when they invented C). He told me back when he did this that Vi would only show one line at a time and you'd have like thousands of lines of code and have to check something a few lines up so you'd have to give the command to view it up in that area or something.
