QuickC for Windows was a C compiler hosted in Microsoft Windows 3.0. This was the cheapest way of writing protected mode programs, as this retailed for $149, along with the $150 cost of Windows 3.0. Dos Extenders of the time with compilers cost several thousand dollars.
The interface from QuickC for windows eventually found its way into the Visual C++ program, as both share many common elements.
You could target both MS-DOS & Windows 3.0 with this compiler.
