Hi,
A person who wants to try out DICE needs to know how to go about getting
the header files (includes) and amiga.lib. Owning Manx C 5.0, I took a
quick look at the files. The Manx std c includes are stamped with their
copyright, but the standard 1.3 includes for the amiga stuff seem to lack
any copyright notice at all. Does this mean I could wrap them up and send
them to this person? I hesitate since CATS sells this stuff for a small fee.
Is the fee just to cover the duplication and postage, or does the price act
as a license to use the stuff? Since Manx doesn't use amiga.lib, nor include
it with teh distribution, how do I get it? I think Lattice distributes it.
Assuming there is no restriction to the copying of the header files, does
this carry over to this library?
So, getting down to the real question: Can these files be copied, and
if not where should I tell this guy to seek them. Thanks in advance for
any help.

The includes/amiga.lib, may not be redistributed. They are Copyrighted by Commodore, and anyone wanting to redistribute them must sign a license agreement with CBM, and pay the appropriate fee. Your friend's two low cost options are: 1.) Order the "Native Developer's Update 1.3" from CATS 2.) Register his copy of DICE with Matt Dillon -Ed Berger eb15@andrew.cmu.edu

I cannot distribute them in the FREEWARE version of DICE. I have a license to distribute them in the REGISTERED version of DICE, just as Lattice and Manx have licenses to distribute them with their own products. > So, getting down to the real question: Can these files be copied, and >if not where should I tell this guy to seek them. Thanks in advance for >any help. No, they cannot be copied. Your friend can purchase them from CATS directly (Native Developer's Update, $20 I believe), or he can register for DICE ($40) to get the registered version which includes them. The reason I cannot distribute them with the freeware version, even freeware versions that I send to people personally, is that the copyright notice would become too confusing: "These files here cannot be redistributed but those over there can" etc... Not to mention the fact that my distributing them over a public network would put my inviolation of the terms! Since the registered version is *not* freely redistributable the copyright notice and terms are plain and simple, and apply to the whole product. -Matt >JPM >--- >John P.
