It died. Not really. Multiscope supported the Logitech compiler ( Multiscope was the Logitech compiler crew ) and made the Version 3.4 and 4.0. Then Multiscope was bought from Symantec. But the Version 4.0 is the actual and a well supported version ( DOS and Windows 16 bit ). Terra, Switzerland does an excellent support ( and now a complete bugfix ) of the compiler. The Version 3.4 of the compiler is still supported ( really no bugs in the compiler ), its only DOS ( I am very happy with this compiler and use him every day ). There is also a OS/2 1.x only 16 bit compiler from Logitech ( with a bugfix from Terra ). Both Compilers, Vers 3.4 and 4.0 can be bought from Terra, Switzerland. > > Used FTL (CP/M-80, MS-DOS, heard of various 68K variants) for a while > (still do for some embedded work).
