The most used programming language in the OSK community is 'C'. In general 'C'
is an accepted language in embedded system, real time systems and the like. As
far as application programs, most likely 'C' or even Pascal. I believe the
ORIGINAL (CP/M) version of WordStar was written in assembly language on the
Z80/8080 microprocessors, but it was much easier to program in assy lang in
those days when one could brag about having a system with 64k and TWO eight
inch disk drives. The WordStar for CP/M was about 38k long.

        Today, big projects like WordPerfect or Paradox and other IBM
application software take a tremendous time, number of people, and money. One
person may work just on one certain part of the project.
