Visual Studio is a different product than "Microsoft Optimizing C
Compiler". There MIGHT have been Quick C or Visual C included with
the C compiler
Earlier versions were rebranded Lattice.
The manuals were massive.
We got a great deal ($75?? instead of several hundred$), and ordered half
a dozen copies of the compiler. Eventually, the UPS driver showed up with
a handtruck. The handtruck was NOT all our copies, it was ONE copy. The
driver wasn't going to lift/carry more than one copy at a time, and went
back and forth to his truck for a while.
I gave my copies away years ago. I should check the basement and see what
if anything is still around.
