A popular package that bundled the C Set/2 toolkit with the [[OS/2 SDK]] and the [[WorkFrame/2]] development environment for a price that was only a little higher than what the company charged for C Set/2 itself. It was only sold for a limited time in 1992 as an enticement to new developers, but at the time the WorkFrame/2 environment was considered a boon to development since it allowed you easily to integrate existing third party OS/2, [[DOS]] and [[MS Windows]] development tools into your working environment.

A C/C++ development system by IBM for creating 32 bit OS/2 applications. The compiler itself appears to be a port of the C Set++ tool from AIX that was also available for OS/400, but version numbers did not match and the GUI utilities and front ends were specific to OS/2.

In addition to the compiler the system came with a visual trace analysis tool, a GUI IDE, a graphical debugger and a graphical C++ class browser. Note that as of version 2.1 the compiler was still not ANSI/ISO C++ compatible but rather confirmed to the AT&T 3 standard.

C Set++ FirstStep

A cut down version of C Set++ 2.1 intended for beginners and students, came bundled with the 2.1 SDK and a tutorial book. Original RRP was 85 USD in 1994.

Bonus Bundle

After the introduction of VisualAge C++ IBM continued to sell C Set++ as a part of a beginners development package that bundled it with OS/2 Warp For Windows, KASE:Set, WorkFrame/2 and the Book "Experience C++" at a bargain price, RRP was USD 249 in 1994.
