IBM Personal Computer BASIC Compiler /2
The Personal Computer BASIC Compiler is a BASIC language compiler written by Microsoft and licensed to IBM for use on the IBM Personal Computer. It is mostly compatible with BASIC code written for IBM Cassette/Disk basic, however the compiled code will run much faster and eliminates the need to distribute source. Compiled programs do not require IBM BASIC in ROM.
Release notes
Around the release of the IBM PS/2, IBM confusingly rebranded many of their products with the "/2" suffix, regardless if there had already been a "2" release. Really this would be "3.0".
This release should correspond with Microsoft BASIC Compiler 6.0.
This version supports creating executables for both DOS and OS/2 1.x.
