Zortech C++ was first
- petilon 4y agoThat wasn't a mainstream compiler, and certainly wasn't the reason for Microsoft responding with Visual C++, or C++ becoming popular.
- pjmlp 4y agoIt might have been, yet it was nowhere to be found on most European countries. It was Borland vs Microsoft all over the place, then we got Watcom and MetaWare High as well. When I finally started to see Zortech on sale, it was after the Symantec acquisition where they made an agreement with Microsoft to also ship MFC. So why not get the real deal directly from Microsoft.
