On [[IBM Personal Computer]]s and [[IBM PC compatible|compatibles]], the Basic Input Output System ([[BIOS]]) and [[DOS]] system calls provide a way to write text on the screen, and the [[ANSI.SYS]] driver could process standard ANSI escape sequences. However, programmers soon learned that writing data directly to the [[screen buffer]] was far faster and simpler to program, and less error-prone; see [[VGA-compatible text mode]] for details. This change in programming methods resulted in many DOS TUI programs. {{anchor|Windows}}The [[

Some notable programs of this kind were [[Microsoft Word]], [[DOS Shell]], [[WordPerfect]], [[Norton Commander]], [[Turbo Vision]] based [[Borland]] [[Turbo Pascal]] and [[Turbo C]] (the latter included the [[conio.h|conio]] [[library (computer science)|library]]), [[Lotus 1-2-3]] and many others. Some of these interfaces survived even during the [[Microsoft]] [[Windows 3.1x]] period in the early 1990s. For example, the [[Microsoft C]] 6.0 compiler, used to write true GUI programs under [[16-bit]] Windows, still has its own TUI.
Since its start, [[Microsoft Windows]] includes a console to display DOS software. Later versions added the [[

The [[Windows Subsystem for Linux]] which was added to [[Windows]] by [[Microsoft]] in 2019, supports running [[Linux]] text-based apps on Windows, within [[Windows console]], [[Windows Terminal]], and other Windows-based terminals.
