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

Revision as of 20:47, 26 June 2016

A C/C++ development system by IBM for creating 32 bit OS/2 applications. The compiler itself appears to be a port of the C Set++ tools from AIX that were also available for OS/400, but version numbers did not match and the GUI utilities and front ends were specific to OS/2.

Features

In addition to the compiler the system came with a visual trace analysis tool, a GUI IDE, a graphical debugger and a graphical C++ class browser. Note that as of version 2.1 the compiler was still not ANSI/ISO C++ compatible but rather confirmed to the AT&T 3 standard. Otherwise the package is notable as the first PC C++ compiler that correctly and fully implemented templates and exceptions.

C Set++ FirstStep

A cut down version of C Set++ 2.1 intended for beginners and students, it came bundled with the 2.1 SDK, IBM WorkFrame/2 v1.1, Enhanced Editor 5.51a 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.
