- I may be wrong but I think that line of compilers died with MSC 7.0. Micrsoft now
- has the 'Microsoft Developer's Suite'. Starting with MSVC 4.0 for Windows 95 they
- have trotted out an IDE that is totally different from visual workbench, although
- it is similar to MSVC 2.0, but with the added feature that it looks like it supports
- development languages other than C++. There is a visual fortran and basic and
- a few other that you can plug into it, apparently. Since the look and feel is
- quite different from the past, and it is also strictly for 32 bit platforms (nt and 95
- presumably) I would be surprised if the classic MS C codeline were continued.
- I don't even know if there is a command line compiler in the package. I was so
- turned on by the feature packed visual workbench 4.0 that I forgot to check.
- Being able to create a functioning application framework WITH floating/dockable
- toolbar with the new app wizard made me forget the important things I guess.
