Microsoft Visual Basic 1.0 for MSDOS -

Sounds like competitor For Vermont Views or the previous product Windows for Data and windows for C

No sure of the names ... my recollection this software was in use in early 90s and maybe late 80s

Google of 3 words Vermont Views, software still picks up several links

Borland Turbo Pascal and Borland Delphi where also (similar) products from around that time. These products where popular at the time. ( The development system provide include some kind of windows system for the application )

Microsoft even hired key Delphi person ....
