I am looking to buy a package of screen design functions for use with Microsoft C 6.0. I was looking at C-Worthy by Solution Systems, but my boss was reluctant to shell out $400 for the package w/ source. Currently I am leaning toward Vitamin C. If anyone has any info on any of these packages, or any suggestions for other suitable packages, please e-mail me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance, Neil

This is a shareware package with a lot of bang for the buck. It is a full-featured C add on library for any of the following compilers: Microsoft C/Quick C/Zortech C/Turbo C And for ONLY $35 you get disk with your choice of LIBS AND THE COMPLETE SOURCE CODE!!! The author's name is Mike Smedley, out of Texas. And I and several of my friends are quite happy with CXL. The current version is 5.2, although SimTel20 has the demo version of 5.1, OK? Here's the address/info: CXL Version 5.2 c/o Mike Smedley P.O. Box 33603 San Antonio, TX 78265 He's been working on it for years and plans to keep up the support, including rumors about a NEW and IMPRESSIVE 6.0 version! If you are not able to access Simtel and would like the demo, just send me some email, OK? :) jim Jim Dunn: jdunn@dsac.dla.mil; AV 850-9713; ATT 614-238-9713; FAX 614-238-9936 U.S.Mail: P.O.

I have heard a rumor that Chip Rabinowitz, who can be reached by phone at (215) 884-3373 or e-mail at 76702.1361@compuserve.com is going to be getting the marketing rights to CXL. While I can't call it more than a rumor until negotiations are complete and Chip announces it, my source is sufficiently reliable that I can say that Chip will not mind any phone calls or e-mail by potential customers in the meantime. Non-disclaimer: I have no financial ties to anyone associated with this. -- sidney markowitz <sidney@saturn.ucsc.edu>

You see, Mike has had some family situations that called him from his computing for a while, OK? But now he's back and I just got me 5.2 version 3 weeks after mailing in my payment. Also, his compuserve account is now empty enough to mail. Go ahead! CXL 6.0 and a cheap upgrade fee will be your reward!!! :) jdunn@dsac.dla.mil

Or even better -- is there anyone in Australia that alread has it. Advancing thanks, William Mason ph: +61-2-887-6909 ACUS R&D, Sydney FAX: +61-2-888-2424 Australia. email: william@syacus.oz.au

Here's the official messages about the new status of CXL that I saw

The CXL C function library, and all rights to market and support
it, have been sold. CXL has been a pleasure to produce and support
in the past, but many things have come up, resulting in substandard
service to CXL users. The sale was needed to ensure CXL's growth and
dominance in the shareware C library market.
The new owner of CXL is Chip Rabinowitz and his company
Innovative Data Concepts. Chip is well-known in the programming
community for his work on the TesSeRact TSR libraries and the Swap
Utilities. He is also very active on CompuServe, providing
invaluable advice to both novice and expert programmers. Chip is an
active member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
All future CXL orders, inquiries, and support will be handled by
Innovative Data Concepts. Their address is 1657 The Fairways, Suite
101, Jenkintown, PA 19046. They can be contacted via electronic mail
on CompuServe (70731,20) or MCI Mail (315-5415). For tech support
call: 215-884-3373; FAX: 215-886-4226; orders: 1-800-926-4551.
A new version of CXL is due out around September 1st, 1990, and
will contain all enhancements to CXL since version 5.2. CXL will be
renamed to the "TesSeRact CXL Windowing Library" and will initially
appear as version 5.5.

Innovative Data Concepts is pleased to announce the acquisition of
Mike Smedley's CXL Library. We are proud to add such a high-quality
programmer's tool to your TesSeRact(TM) Development Tools product
line.
Version 5.5 of the TesSeRact CXL Windowing Library will be available
directly from IDC during the first week in September, 1990. Some
(but not all) of the new features include:
Faster window updates
Automatic support for DV/Windows Virtual Screens
Multi-field data entry has been greatly enhanced
Help system is now 'callable'
More than 20 new user functions
Calling/Naming conventions standardized
CXL Version 5.5 will cost $50, which includes printed documentation,
the complete source code, and one library disk. Additional library
disks are available for $15. Current registered users of CXL will
receive an upgrade mailing within the next two weeks, offering them
the new version for $20. Library disks are available for Borland's
Turbo C 2.0/Turbo C++ 1.0; Microsoft C 5.1; Microsoft C 6.0;
Microsoft QuickC; and Zortech C++ 2.1. Other compiler support is
planned for the next few months.
While we WILL take orders for the product now, we request you wait
until the product officially is shipped next month. Call IDC at
1-215-884-3373 for more information, or 1-800-926-4551 for orders.
