![]() This sort of flexibility and SDK less & integrated development is really only matched by Open Watcom, and while VIP does not have the systems programming flexibility of Watcom, it offers RAD capabilities not matched by many OS/2 development systems, if any. As to why you would want to run such an old piece of a development system in a modern setting, well the 5.2 version of Visual Prolog is something special in many ways, it compiles not just on and to 32-bit MS Windows like the more modern versions of VIP do, it also compiles to 16-bit or extended 32-bit DOS, 16 and 32-bit OS/2 GUI and text-mode, 16-bit Windows GUI and creates text mode programs for Linux and SCO Unix, the Linux bit requires a bit of messaging to work on modern variants but it can execute.Īlso you can create Windows and DOS executables from the OS/2 version of the system and vice versa, without even downloading SDKs for any of those systems.
