- Not really. Multiscope supported the Logitech compiler ( Multiscope was
- the Logitech compiler crew ) and made the Version 3.4 and 4.0. Then
- Multiscope was bought from Symantec.
- But the Version 4.0 is the actual and a well supported version ( DOS and
- Windows 16 bit ). Terra, Switzerland does an excellent support ( and now a
- complete bugfix ) of the compiler. The Version 3.4 of the compiler is still
- supported ( really no bugs in the compiler ), its only DOS ( I am very happy
- with this compiler and use him every day ). There is also a OS/2 1.x only
- 16 bit compiler from Logitech ( with a bugfix from Terra ).
- Both Compilers, Vers 3.4 and 4.0 can be bought from Terra, Switzerland.
