A cross platform visual business Basic development system for 32-bit OS/2 and 16-bit MS Windows that offered a number of RAD tools including a forms builder, report writer, and a debugger. Later versions were also delivered in a separate 32-bit Windows version although initially it compiled 16 bit-Windows executables only but the last version offered target support for Win32s, Windows NT and Windows 95. Original list price was US$ 247 (1994).
Note that software developed under versions 1 and 2 of the compiler does not work under Windows 2000 or later. Software developed with version 3 will work in any 32-bit version of Windows, but apparently not in any of the 64 bit version unless it is specifically compiled for the Windows NT target.
