I would be surprised if anyone have even considered any other language than
C/C++.. :-) Hmm, it may be true that DOS and Windows 9x/ME is obsolete now
and that new software for MS-users should be for Windows 2000 or Windows XP,
but that says more about MS than anything else .. Just make sure the code is
POSIX- and ANSI C compatible and use a portable GUI library like SDL (libsdl.org)
for applications with visual interfaces.

I think the base software should be CLI based, then GUI:s could just be
frontends and it would be easy for knowledgable users to build their own
software (CLI or GUI) to analyze the data and do whatever with it.
