An assembly language development system for 16-bit OS/2, Windows and DOS code, in addition to supporting Psion series 3 development if bought as a part of or used alongside the PSION SIBO C SDK. The TechKit can be run as a native OS/2 application or by cross compiling from DOS. In addition to the assembler and post-mortem debugger the Techkit came with source code for all the libraries shipped with other TopSpeed development systems including Modula-2, C, C++ and Pascal, header files and libraries for Windows (16-bit) development and resource and help file compilers.

Although usable as an assembly language development system on its own, it was mainly intended as an add-on to the existing TopSpeed compiler systems and indeed was often sold bundled with them in "Extended editions".

It was also bundled with PSION SIBO C Software Development Kit Professional Edition.

Version

  • 3.10
Prerequisites
  • Although you can develop OS/2 Presentation Manager applications without the OS/2 SDK, it is highly recommended that you use it since the PM support of the TopSpeed environment is rather weak in the parts where tools from the SDK already existed.
  • DOS 3.0 or later and/or OS/2 1.3 or later.
