is there anyone that actually used them back in those years? and how do they work? i heard that since the specification of c was yet to be standardized, most compilers were quite incomplete to support the language, with the libraries in a complete mess.
portable c also started in 70s(not on pc though), does it have dos version too in the early dos years?
also, is borland turbo c the first one to provide an ide integrated with edit, compile, debug and so on? well it was really popular in its years but i never quite came to love it, i just feel extremely bored with it for whatever reason.

I do not know much about early C compilers. I started with Turbo C 2.01. But it seems that lattice C was bought by Microsoft and turned into Microsoft C:
