A 16 and 32 bit C and C++ development system for DOS, Windows and OS/2, the system comprised an IDE with editor, compiler, profiler and debugger. Note that with version 2 you could buy an integrated system that supported OS/2 and DOS or a cheaper system that only supported DOS and in some countries only the cheaper version was distributed. With version 3 of the compiler 16 and 32 bit versions for DOS and 16 bit version Windows and OS/2 came in the same package. Also version 2.1 for SCO Unix was offered. Bought by Symantec in the early 90's who released a version 3.1 as a separate compiler for 32 bit OS/2 only. The Symantec version includes the rather spiffy Multiscope Debugger.
The built in editor shipped with the package was based on MicroEMACS.
