FOR SALE - Mac Progamming software.
The following software is for sale. All items are NEW and include
warranty registration cards. As noted below, most items are older
versions and require upgrades. In some cases, more than one copy
is available for sale. Add $10 for shipping and handling on each
item. Available in USA only.
-----------------------------
PLEASE NOTE: Information on upgrades given below was collected by
phone in April and May of 1990. I can't guarantee that this information
represents the current policy of these companies. I recommend you
contact the vendor before you buy.
1) Language Systems Fortran (LSF) - $175 ( list price $400)
Language Systems Fortran is an excellent compiler. It is a
full ANSI Fortran 77 compiler with many VAX VMS extensions,
support for math coprocessor, Mac Toolbox support, and many
other features. Fortran object code can be linked with object
files from other MPW compilers (C, Pascal, Assembler). For more
information, call Language Systems at (703) 478-0181 or see
their advertisements in MacTutor, the MacTech Quarterly, or
the description in the APDALog.
MPW is required (not included). This is version 1.21 of the
compiler. This version is compatible with MPW 2.x and with
MPW 3.x. An upgrade to the latest version of Language
Systems Fortran (version 2.0) cost $100 and can be obtained
from Language Systems. Version 2.0 is a major upgrade with
many new features.
Note on upgrade to 2.0: LSF version 1.21 has an incompatibility
with SADE that does not let you view variables in COMMON or
adjustable arrays with SADE ( SADE is Apple's symbolic debugger.
SADE is sold by Apple separately from MPW. Language Systems
Fortran does not have it's own symbolic debugger, but is designed
to work with SADE.) In the new LSF version 2.0, this bug has been
fixed, but you MUST have MPW 3.1 to use SADE with LSF version 2.0.
Language Systems sells upgrades for MPW: 3.0 to 3.1 costs $35,
2.02 to 3.1 costs $50.
2) Programmers Extender Vol1, Think C - $50 (list price $119)
Programmers Extender Vol1, TML Pascal - $50 (list price $119)
Programmers Extender Vol2, Think Pascal - $50 (list price $119)
Programmers Extender Vol2, MPW Pascal - $50 (list price $119)
Programmers Extender Vol2, TML Pascal - $50 (list price $119)
Libraries of procedures to implement the Mac user interface.
Volume 1 supports windows, menus, dialogs, alerts, controls,
text editing, and user hooks. Source code for 90 percent
of the procedures is included. 300 page manual. No secondary
licensing fee required. Numerous demo programs.
Volume 2 supports scrollable lists and list editing, read/write
MacDraw and MacPaint files, off screen bitmaps, printing text
and graphics, popup menus, tiling and stacking windows, string
manipulation in dialogs, and more. Source code for 25 percent
of the procedures is included. 320 page manual. No secondary
licensing fee required. Numerous demo programs.
NOTE - Using volume 2 requires that you already have Volume 1.
Contact Invention Software for more information (313) 996-1510.
Programmer's Extender was originally sold with different versions
for individual compilers. There are now only two versions: One
for C (it works with Think C and MPW C) and one for Pascal (which
works with Think Pascal, MPW Pascal, and TML Pascal). The versions
for sale here are older and are compiler specific. However,
Invention Software offers a free upgrade if you send them the
registration form and the original disk. You MUST include a
note requesting a free upgrade. You will receive the C version
if your original was for a C compiler, and similarly for Pascal.
3)
Professional Programmers Extender, Think Pascal - $150 (list price $395)
Professional Programmers Extender, MPW Pascal - $150 (list price $395)
Professional Programmers Extender, TML Pascal - $150 (list price $395)
Professional Programmer's Extender includes everything in
volumes 1 and 2 of Programmer's Extender (above), plus more
example programs, more documentation in a 3-ring binder AND
100 percent of the source code for everything.
Contact Invention Software for more information (313) 996-1510.
As with Programmer's Extender, the Professional Programmer's Extender
was originally sold with different versions for individual compilers.
There are now only two versions: One for C (it works with Think C and
MPW C) and one for Pascal (which works with Think Pascal, MPW Pascal,
and TML Pascal). The versions for sale here are older and are compiler
specific. However, Invention Software offers a free upgrade if you
send them the registration form. You MUST include a note requesting
a free upgrade. You will receive the C version if your original was
for a C compiler, and similarly for Pascal.
4) NuTools: Numerical Methods in C - $200 (list price $295)
Over 200 Numerical algorithms implemented in ANSI C. Supports types
for real and complex vector, matrix, and polynomial operations and
rational polynomials. Routines for curve fitting, eigenvalues and
eigenvectors, interpolation, integration, linear systems, ordinary
differential equations, root solving, and signal processing. In
addition, over 100 input and output routines are included. I/O
routines provide entry, display, and editing windows, expression
parser, 2 and 3 dimensional graphics, and file dialogs. Support
for both Think C and MPW C included in version 1.2.
The copy for sale is version 1.0 and is primarily aimed at Think C
users. A free upgrade is available to the current version (1.2) by
mailing in the registration card and including a note requesting
the upgrade.
