Just to clarify - there is a version of MS C/C++ 7.0 that runs on OS/2 1.x.
It generates code for DOS or Windows only.  It is meant to be a transition
for people who have used previous MS products on OS/2.  

The files needed to run C7 on OS/2 are available on Compuserve in the
Microsoft Languages Forum Library.  You need to have the DOS/Windows
version of the product since the Compuserve files only provide compiler,
linker and PWB versions that run on OS/2 1.x.

Microsoft supports this version of the product via Compuserve.
