Borland C++ for OS/2 was an integrated development environment for 32-bit OS/2 systems. It includes the Borland Object Windows Library (OWL), that is compatible with the Windows-based version found in Borland C++.

Features

BCC - Borland C++ Compiler
Resource Workshop
TASM - Turbo Assembler
TDOS2 - Turbo Debugger
TLIB - Library Manager

Versions

Feb 1993: Borland C++ for OS/2 Version 1.0
Mar 1994: Borland C++ for OS/2 Version 1.5
Jan 1995: Borland C++ for OS/2 Version 2.0
Jun 1995: Borland C++ 2.0 for OS/2 with SMART

This version is as far as the compiler goes roughly equivalent to version 4 for Windows and does indeed sometimes announce itself as V.4 for OS/2 rather than V.2.
