Oldies but Goldies

During Highschool and not only, I developed different software solutions that used to run under DOS OS (no longer used). I will list some I still remember:

• a puzzle game – made together with Olaru Liviu (now working for Microsoft), with graphics and music; we earned the 2nd place on a local software contest;
• a window manager for DOS applications – written in Borland Pascal, with some assembler code and having graphical interface, could run DOS native applications into their own windows, which had resize and move options (everything mouse driven);
• encryption/archive software;
• clocks and all kind of TSR (resident) programs.
