Most of the OS/2 support did not arrive until a year later with version 4 but by that time is supported the OS/2 clipboard and so on. In 1994 the company started offering QEdit 3.0 in a 32-bit version for OS/2 2.0 or higher and now offered some integration features such as support for long filenames. However that product had a difficult birth and did not see a release until 1993 as The SemWare Editor and then only in a DOS version with no OS/2 version being made available as had initially been suggested. This lead the company to re-write the product from scratch and in 1991 it offered a new version to beta testers called QEdit Pro that had parsing features and a much improved macro language. While QEdit was a well liked product it could never truly be a programmers editor in the modern sense since it did not parse text, rendering features such as syntax highlighting for instance impossible to achieve. This version was later used as the basis for version 2 of the DOS version which also added a TSR capable edition. But apart from the ability to handle larger files it did not offer anything over and above the DOS version except for a higher retail price. QEdit 2.1 was re-written in C and ported to OS/2 1.x.
