Lenguajes de Microsoft

Esta semana va a ser atípica. Estará dedicada a herramientas de programación creadas por Microsoft. Si ayer fue el turno de COBOL-80, hoy le toca a un anuncio de 1983 que hablaba de toda su gama de intérpretes y compiladores para sistemas de 16 bit en esa época:BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, C y Pascal.

El texto del anuncio era:

Microsoft languages connect your software to more 16-bit systems.

The largest market for 16bit software. over 95% of all 16 bit microcomputers run Microsoft operating systems, languages, or both. That means your programs written in Microsoft languages find their market in the largest installed base of 16-bit systems. The IBM. PC, systems from Wang, Zenith DEC, Victor, Altos, Texas Instruments and Radio Shack, to name just a few And, if you're working with Microsoft operating systems and languages, you'll find that it's far easier to transport software between systems

A full range of languages. The versatile MS BASIC interpreter and the fast MS-BASIC compiler. Microsoft Business BASIC and MS COBOL for business use. MS-FORTRAN for scientific and engineering applications. Microsoft C, a complete C that provides a productive alternative to assembly language. And MS-Pascal, a high level language compiler specifically designed for microprocessor system software implementation. All these languages are compatible with ANSI or ISO standards

A total programming environment, Compatible languages. Operating systems, Utilities, Plus complete support All. the tools you need to write software that sells.

Leadership in micros.

Microsoft wrote the first BASIC for the first production microcomputer. Since then, we've added a full range of 8 bit and 16 bit languages, plus the MS DOS and XENIX operating systems. What's more, we are constantly enhancing both languages and operating systems. And we make those enhancements available to our customers That means Microsoft programming languages are state of the art programming tools. Tools that allow your applications programs to reach more systems. More effectively

More information? See your Microsoft dealer for complete information on Microsoft's 16-bit lan guages and operating systems. Or, write for our booklet "The Microsoft Language Family". A family of tools that give your programs aocess to the largest instaled base of 16 bit systems.
