Today (10/28/93) IBM Software Solutions Toronto Lab announces three OS/2 C Set ++ products:

  • C Set ++ V2.1
  • C Set ++ FirstStep
  • C Set ++ Class Libraries Source V2.1

Availability is 11/9/93 in the US. Please be aware that not all countries have announced these products today. If your country has not, be patient. I expect they will announce shortly.


C SET ++ V2.1

This is the latest release of the full C Set ++ product, and it replaces the current C Set ++ V2.0. Highlights are:

  • TK 2.1 now included
  • WorkFrame 2 V2.1 (WPS enabled) included (WF V1.1 also remains in the product)
  • ICLUI Drag/Drop classes available
  • KASE:Set GUI Builder included
  • CSDs 1 and 2 incorporated
  • CD-ROM with documentation (CD-ROM Pak) available as an option (CD-ROM without doc still available)
  • New pricing options (LAN and volume)
  • Upgrade pricing

C SET ++ FIRSTSTEP

This is a slimmed down version of C Set ++ at a slimmed down price, great for getting started in C Set ++. FirstStep has:

  • the same compiler/debugger code as C Set ++ except that it doesn't have optimization.
  • three class libraries
    • Standard Class Library
    • Collection Class Library
    • Application Support Class Library (string, date, time)
  • Toolkit 2.1 (same as C Set ++)
  • WorkFrame/2 V1.1 (C Set ++ V2.1 has both V1.1 and V2.1

EXTRA (the code analyser) and the Browser aren't in FirstStep, nor is the User Interface library. These things aren't essential to start with C++, but they're a tremendously useful once you get going, or if you program for a living. They're in the full C Set ++ V2.1 package, which obviously costs more.

C SET ++ CLASS LIBRARIES SOURCE V2.1

Source code is now available for the User Interface and Collection Class Libraries. This is a separate product, at a separate price. Source code for other parts of C Set ++ is not available.

Which to buy?

It depends on how much function you want and how much you want to pay. C Set ++ is loaded with features and functions and is a "professional" level product. FirstStep is a slimmed down version of C Set ++ with a correspondingly lower price, great for those people just getting started with C or C++, or on a tight budget. If you want all the bells and whistles, C Set ++ is the one to choose. But if you want to try out the product, or you don't need all the class libraries, or the code analyser and such, then you should go for FirstStep.


PRICING

Because of the new licensing options and the volume packs and the upgrades from previous products, there are many part numbers. This note does NOT cover all the part numbers associated with the three new products, but gives the main numbers you need. If you need further help, contact IBM through your local source (IBM office, IBM rep, dealer, distributor, CompuServe, IBMLink TalkLink BBS, workframe@vnet.ibm.com or cset2@vnet.ibm.com, etc, etc).

These prices are IBM announced prices. Some part numbers have a 'street' price which is the price you will pay at the IBM 1-800-3IBM-OS2 number. Your dealer/distributor may sell for less. All prices quoted in $US.

PLEASE NOTE: some of the products/part numbers are not available through some channels, i.e. the volume packs are not sold by the 1-800-3IBM-OS2 number. Any restrictions are noted in the appropriate section.


When you buy C Set ++ or FirstStep, you now have several options open to you.

  • Single unit pricing
  • Additional License Pack (you may know this as LAN licensing)
  • Volume Packs (packs of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 at a lower price)
  • Upgrade prices from C Set/2, WorkSet/2 and C Set ++ V2.0
