IDE is a file extension commonly associated with project files used by Borland C++.

About Borland C++

Borland C++ is a discontinued C and C++ IDE for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows.

It was the successor to Turbo C++ and included a better debugger, the Turbo Debugger, which was written in DOS in protected mode.

Today, Borland C++ is known as C++Builder, owned by Embarcadero Technologies, and is intended for writing programs in the C++ programming language currently intended for use on Windows (both 32-bit and x64), iOS, and for various versions, macOS and Android (still supported, but only 32-bit Android apps).

C++Builder combines the Visual Component Library and IDE written in Object Pascal with various C++ compilers.

The IDE file belongs to the Development Files category as it represents a project built in C++.

Section elements are linked to model and texture files to give them the proper appearance.
