Yes, a limited beta version came with Warp 4 Application Sampler. It's 
use was more an interface for DB2 database stuff, similiar to 
CA-Realizer something for RAD or doing prototypes.

At <http://www.edm2.com> there are also longer lists of native or 
DOS-based solutions for each programming language. I can recommend 
Virtual Pascal. Most Turbo Pascal samples need only a change for the 
unit to produce a 32-bit OS/2 or Win program. And it can also do more 
fancier things.
