I think it was coded in Borland C and used SDL for video? The source is available: https://archive.org/details/uplink-developer-cd

Visual C++ 6.0 for the compiler. I remember doing the "upgrade" to .NET 2003.

SDL was used for mac and linux versions, windows used glut.

I quickly scrolled through then ISO content and saw it’s C files, and a spurious mention of Borland (from SDL) got me :)
