For me it was Dataflex back then.   I developed in it continuously from 87 
to 93 when I discovered Access 1.0. One of my current clients still uses a 
DOS based Dataflex application for their accoounting (CBA) and I still 
occassional write a bit of dataflex to extract data from it to integrate 
with Access apps.  I was lucky, I never really got into DBase/Foxpro 
Clipper etc although I did dabble in them a bit.
