XDS-x86 Modula-2
Native XDS-x86 (xTech Development System) is an Oberon-2 development environment for Intel x86-based platforms.
Features
Native XDS for OS/2 includes an IDE with help files as well as Modula-2/Oberon-2 optimizing compiler. Full 32-bit OS/2 API support is provided. Additional included tools are the H2D utility which translates C header files into Modula-2 definition modules and the XDS Debugger.
Not only it enables you to mix those two languages freely, but also offers access to the operating system API, and uses any third-party library with a plain C API.
XDS-C is a similar environment that emits C code.
