IBM C Set/2

A 32 bit C development system introduced by IBM alongside with OS/2 Version 2.0 in 1992. It consists of both a 32-bit SAA C Compiler with its run-time libraries, that generates code for OS/2 2.0, and a fully interactive, full function, source level PM debugger.

IBM C Set/2 Version 1.0 and IBM C/2 were complementary products. Compiler and debugger run only in the 32-bit OS/2 environment with the compiler generating code specifically for 32-bit OS/2.

Work Set/2

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.
