Just for fun (because I have a warped sense of fun), I decided to revisit some of the old OS/2 software I wrote
almost 30 years ago. But first, I needed an OS/2 development environment.
So I started with a clean install of [IBM OS/2 1.0](/disks/pc/os2/ibm/1.0/) in the 8Mhz IBM PC AT machine
So I started with a clean install of [IBM OS/2 1.0](/disks/pcx86/os2/ibm/1.0/) in the 8Mhz IBM PC AT machine
below, by booting from the "IBM OS/2 1.0 (1.44M Install)" diskette in drive A and reformatting the machine's 20Mb
drive C.
Next, I installed the [MS OS/2 SDK 1.02](/disks/pc/tools/microsoft/os2/sdk/1.02/). This SDK was released

in December 1987 along with [Microsoft OS/2 1.0](/disks/pcx86/os2/microsoft/1.0/). I don't have any of the
printed documentation that came with the SDK, such as the *Installation Guide*, but I do have the
[Microsoft® Operating System/2 Programmer’s Toolkit](/pubs/pc/software/os2/microsoft/ptk10/) documentation
from March 1988, thanks to the [OS/2 Museum](http://www.os2museum.com/wp/os2-history/os2-library/os2-1-x-programming/).

With the introduction of graphical IDEs, such as Visual BASIC in 1991, Visual C++ in 1993, and Visual Studio in 1995,
this stand-alone, text-mode editor became obsolete, but in the 1980s, it was a valuable tool. You can learn more
