'''Zortech C++''' is a 16- and 32-bit [[C]] and [[C++]] development system for DOS, Windows and OS/2. The system comprised an IDE with editor, compiler, profiler and debugger.


The built in editor shipped with the package was based on [[MicroEMACS]]. After Symantec stopped selling the package the original developer started selling it under the '''Digital Mars''' name and currently offers the basic version of it as a free download, however that version offers support for 16 and 32 code generation for both DOS and Microsoft Windows but contains no OS/2 support.
