My old company's product, Zortech C++, was also very popular in Germany,

And a certain spot in the Netherlands, because at the time it outperformed all
the others like Borland Watcom IBM/visual-age ms-visual-c++ and others at
compilation speed and most of the time in execution speed as well. Besides since
we used multiple compiler on our code base symantec/digitalmars often reported
violations were the other happily accepted the code (and produced wrong code)
And the incident response time from you was just marvelous, reported an issue,
next morning a fixed compiler version in the emailbox!
Beside that, I really appreciated the so called IDDE and accompanied srcs of
libs. It was imo much much better than VC++ at the time. Have used it for a very
long time even after Symantec ditched it. (borland f***** up theirs by forcing
the C++ builder upone us)
Sounds a lot like D of today, too!
(Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it!)
