Description
A fast Modula 2 development system for 16 bit OS/2 and DOS code, can be run natively or by cross compiling from DOS. System now owned by Clarion who use it as a utility development system. Developed by Niels Jensen of Jensen & Partners, who was one of the people behind Turbo Pascal.
One unusual aspect of the TopSpeed system was that you could buy variants of the development system for C, C++ and Pascal in addition to the Modula 2 compiler and they shared a back end. Not only could you call C, C++ or Pascal code from the Modula compiler ( and vise versa) but you could mix and match the languages in one source file without resorting to any containers. An unique feature in its time and only one or two other development systems have offered similar features since.
