On Windows, Visual C++ was usable by 1992, and became quite popular. Daniel |

Did you use any of USL's SGS compilers? How about Sun compilers? Or SGI compilers? How about greenhills? |

This was also very common in the embedded world. Typically C compilers came with a limited free version (with the limit normally being the total size of the binary file, but sometimes also limited features or optimisation). For various prices you could get increased limits, and then there would be a very expensive license for unlimited size, that also enabled C++. |
