Development Environment Recommendation

Here's an arguably better development environment:

Perhaps a marketing arrangement could be made if suitable. It provides its own run time environment for Windows (and many other platforms that it targets).

If all you want is a development environment, there's also Eclipse/Photran. In our market, though, interoperability with MSVC is a requirement.

I was thinking about expanding the market, not contracting it. Compatibility with MSVC can be maintained. This particular development environment plus compiler set can produce object code for many different processors, including various embedded processors. Each language produces a common intermediate format (ANDF). I wouldn't dream of harming the existing market, "simply" add an optional conversion from any current intermediate language to ANDF. Compatibility with MSVC is mostly about argument passing mechanisms. You already provide virtually every conceivable option for adjusting argument passing mechanisms. I don't see it to be an unsolvable problem. I would view this as a home-run, winning combination.
