Hello. Does anyone know whether or not the IBM C/2 1.1 compiler can be used to develop windows applications? This compiler is essentially identical to Microsoft C 5.1, except that it has a real "make" program, and it comes without some of the Microsoft stuff, like the Microsoft Editor and Quick C. There's a /Gw flag, just like in MSC, and the documentation says that it's required for developing OS/2 PM programs; it says nothing anywhere about Windows. I've built a few of the sample applications in the SDK using IBM C/2, without error messages. However, I can't run any of them; a box comes up saying I have insufficient memory to load the program. I'm using Windows 3.0/386 on an SX w/4MB RAM. Please help if you can. (Microsoft?) Thanks in advance. -- Jerry J. Shekhel

Much as it's always the case when you OEM a product, the customer has the right to change the product, hence, the differences you've found. This is analagous to the various value add features OEMs have applied to DOS. I can say that we started with the same C 5.0 base, we moved on to C 5.1, IBM did their thing.
