IBM C Set++ for OS/2: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:01, 19 February 2015

A C development system introduced by IBM alongside the 2.0 version of OS/2 and replaced the Microsoft sourced IBM C/2. Available in two versions, one supporting C originally sold as C Set/2 but later just renamed C Set and a replacement version that also supported C++ development that is known as C Set++. 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.

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 into your working environment.

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.
