For System 7.0 - 7.6 - Mac OS 9
Last version! Targets 68k and PPC.
Symantec included some extra goodies on the disc, including Think Reference and Think Pascal 4.0 and 4.5d4, Think Project Manager, and more. Copious documentation is included on the disc.
Fun Fact: my boss had to call the president of Symantec in 2000 to get this disc sent to our company. Their phone reps wouldn't sell it to us, and it wasn't available for sale anywhere.

Also sorry, my comment isn't meant to your postings below. But Balrog shortened the name of this file (The file name is perfect now) .
sorry IIGS I don't know what you mean, are you saying something has been changed to the file and the app will run perfectly on OS > 7?
Balrog curtailed the file name, which is perfect now.
I'm running this on a 4400 PPC and OS9.1 - so far so good but there seems to be a problem with accessing: Project | Options - an error pops up saying missing resource (-192) - I wonder if there was a fix going round at the time, probably just an oversight. Anyone got any clues?
Update: I've got this working fine with OS7.5.3 on a PPC, but problem mentioned above is the same with OS8.5 PPC so there is something needed between the OS versions. I have read there should be a folder on the CDrom "Symantec C++ for Power Macintosh" it contains "Alternate Installation" folder, which might be the key. Alas that folder is missing from this disk image (maybe it wasn't there anyway??) but just in case it was. Anyone got it?
This is probably the best dev system for 68K work, but for PPC stuff, CodeWarrior is better.
Wow, this doesn't even work on Mac OS 8.5, let alone later; you get a -192 error when you try to edit a project's options. A built program also fails to even run (on PowerPC). Crashes often when compiling, etc. Back in the day I switched to CodeWarrior from Symantec C++ 7.0, so never got to use this. There's no excuse for such a basic failure like this, as CodeWarrior versions from that era still work fine on OS 9.2.2 (I still use CW Pro 3 daily). Too bad this doesn't work, as it would have been fun to go back and play around with this compiler.
I suggest CW, but this is good if you have old Think/Symantec C code you want to use (and there is a lot of it floating out there).
Think C was a great product up to version 5.0.4, but versions 6 through 8 were a bit unstable.
Is there any advantage in using Symantec (Think) C/C++ over Codewarrior for programming C / C++?
By adding it to the emulator's drives list (using the SheepShaver GUI application), like you've done even with the SheepShaver boot disk.
Make sure you unzip the file you downloaded. The file I uploaded is a .iso.zip file, and the original .iso file was made using Disk Utility on OS X (using "New Image from CD..." with "DVD/CD Master" and "read-only" as the parameters). You can mount the .iso file as a Mac volume within SheepSaver, which I just did, so I know it works.
Am I doing something wrong? Toast says there is no hfs or iso file system in that file, despite its .iso extension.
Vitamin C++ from Roche?
Ten years ago, i knew people that will give one arm for a cd-rom like this.
Think yourself using copies of a bad copy of a folder containing Think Pascal 4.0...
What do you think it is?
If this is what i think it is... ! ...
