MetaWare High C/C++ is a very robust cross platform compiler for DOS, Unix, OS/2, Windows, and Windows 32. Originally a C compiler targeting CP/M and DOS, 'Metaware High C/C++ was later extended to support OS/2 and the 80386 architecture. After the failure of Metaware it was taken over by MQX Embedded who re-targeted it at the embedded market. MQX Embedded is now Synopsys and the product is now referred as Synopsys Metaware Compiler with no OS/2 version.
Wanted: Earlier versions/redumps
To build 32-bit DOS programs with the HC386 compiler, the Phar Lap DOS Extender (386LINK.EXE) must be installed, and in your PATH.
Note: Disk 2 has minor corruption, and should be redumped.
Note: The compressed "rcpp.exe" on disk 2 is damaged. This specific file is from Microsoft Visual C, so skipping the file and replacing it with MSVC's should work.
