ProView Integrated Development Environment

Introduction to ProView

ProView is an integrated software development platform that includes a Windows based user interface, a full-function editor with syntax highlighting, a project manager, a make facility, and an integrated help system. Combined with a full Windows DLL based implementation of the software development tools available from Franklin Software, Inc., ProView offers embedded software developers a development environment similar to that found in Microsoft’s Visual C++ and Borland’s C++ for Windows.
