Revision as of 07:33, 23 December 2015
A C development system with an optimising compiler for 16 bit DOS, 16 bit MS Windows and OS/2, one of the first development systems to be available for OS/2. Also sold as IBM C.
Microsoft also sold a non-optimising version of the toolkit under the name Quick C but that only supported DOS and was never delivered in an OS/2 version.
Versions
- Last version with OS/2 support: V.6.0
- Version 5.1 introduced in 1988, first version to support OS/2.
Known issues
As with other Microsoft tools that support both OS/2 and DOS environments you may run into problems if you try to use those tools on Microsoft Windows systems that support the running of OS/2 1.x programs (Windows NT and 2000), as the system tries to run the DOS executable as an OS/2 program and fails. Either make sure that only the DOS executables are installed or if they are already installed or you migrated the install by hand precede every command with the FORCEDOS command.
