A C 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 the PSION SDK. The TopSpeed C compiler can be run as a native OS/2 application or by cross compiling from DOS. Notable for being the first PC C compiler that was fully ANSI C compliant, and the first one on any system to get ISO C90 validation. System now owned by Soft Velocity who use it as a utility development system for their Clarion database product and an OS/2 compatible product is no longer being offered. Originally a development of the TopSpeed Modula-2 toolkit and shares the same environment and back-end.
The later versions of the TopSpeed C compiler are considered to be very good unlike their C++ counterpart, although by now completely outdated.
Version
- 1.02
- 1.03 (1989)
- 2.0 (1990)
- 3.00 (1991)
- 3.10.002
Prerequisites
- For Windows 3.x or Win-OS/2 programming the TopSpeed TechKit is required, but the tools from it integrate into the TopSpeed environment.
- 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 TopSpeed C is rather weak in the parts were tools from the SDK already existed.
- DOS 3.0 or later and/or OS/2 1.3 or later.
