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.
