                           January 1, 1989
 
 
  
        The following is a current list of developer support materials 
     available directly from Commodore Amiga Technical Support. 
 
        The version of each item is either an official version number 
     or the release date.  The prices are for orders within the U.S.. 
     Canadians should add $2.50 shipping costs per item.  For foreign 
     orders, add $5.00 shipping costs per item.  All prices are in 
     U.S. dollars. 
 
 
        To order any of these items, send a check or money order made 
     out to Commodore Business Machines, to:

   ===> CATS Developer Support Programs 
 
        Two programs:  Certified and Commercial
    
          Developer Applications may be requested through: 
 
             CATS - APPLICATIONS 
             Software Administration 
             CBM 
             1200 Wilson Drive 
             West Chester, PA  19380 
 
             OR  Phone: 215-431-9180 
                 UUCP:  {rutgers,uunet,allegra} !cbmvax!brenda 
 
        Both programs include our AmigaMail developer newsletter, 
        hardware discounts, and a coupon good towards CATS support
        materials.  New members also get a discount towards BIX
        initial signup fee.  The Commercial program also includes
        direct CATS phone support, access to the closed amiga.com 
        conference on BIX, and often earlier access to new software
        and equipment.  To qualify for Certified, you must be 
        developing a salable product for the Amiga, or be the head of 
        an established user group, the representative of a university 
        department, a publisher, or a high-profile individual in the 
        computer industry.  To qualify for Commercial, you must have 
        existing software or hardware products on the market.  To 
        preserve the quality of Commercial support, acceptance to 
        the Commercial program is limited. 

        Our Certified program currently costs $50/yr + $25 initial
        application fee.  The Commercial program is $450/yr + $50
        initial application fee.         
         

   ===> Workbench and Includes Licenses 
 
        For developers who wish to commercially distribute their product 
        on a disk containing files or programs from the Workbench disk, 
        a Workbench license is available.  You can request a Workbench 
        license from 
 
             CATS - LICENSES 
             (at same address as above) 
 
        The current Workbench license is a 1 year contract and the fee 
        for the license is $100/yr.  There is also and Includes license 
        available ($25/yr).  Do not send pre-payment for licenses. 
        Payment will only be accepted after you have read, signed, and 
        returned the license.  Licenses are currently available for
        1.3 Workbench and 1.3 Includes.   Licensing is only available 
        to sole distributors with full control over the labeling and
        packaging of their products.  (ie - there is no licensing
        available for any type of freely redistributable software).

  
                      
   ===> BIX - Amiga Developer's Conferences 
               
        CATS, CBM and Amiga engineers, and some Los Gatos alumni provide 
        technical support for developers in the amiga.dev, amiga.com, 
        and amiga conferences on BIX (the Byte Information eXchange). 
        The amiga and amiga.dev conferences are open conferences. 
        Amiga.com is a closed conference for developers in our Commercial
        program.  A new closed amiga.update conference allows developers
        in our Certified program to access the pre-release software
        update listings in the amiga.com area.
 
        If you are a registered Amiga developer, BIXmail your 
        name, [company], and developer number to cscheppner on BIX
        for admittance to the appropriate closed conference. 
 
 
 
   ===> "Kickstart Journal"  (June 87, Ariadne Software) 
 
        This book is a compilation of articles from "Kickstart", a  
        U.K. Amiga developer's newsletter published by Ariadne Software. 
        Included is a very informative article by Tim King called 
        "ABC AmigaDOS".  This article includes much information not 
        covered in the AmigaDOS manuals. 
 
        The Kickstart Journal must be ordered directly from Ariadne 
        Software, and may be billed to Visa, Mastercard, or American 
        Express.  The cost in U.S. dollars is currently approximately 
        $30, including Air Mail shipping costs.
