CA-Realizer

Description

A cross platform visual business Basic development system for 32 bit OS/2 and 16 bit MS Windows that offered a number of RAD tools including a forms builder, report writer etc., and an exellent debugger. Later versions were also delivered in a separate 32bit Windows version although it compiled 16 bit Windows executables only. Original list price was US$ 247 (1994).

Note that software developed under versions 1 and 2 of the compiler does not work under Windows 2000 or later. Software developed with version 3 will work in any 32bit version of windows including Windows 10 Preview, but apparently not in any of the 64 bit version.
