I am new to the world of AMiga and I am interested in writing programs that take advantage of the Amiga's graphics and other capabilities. I want to write in C and ML, and I have acquired A68k and DICE to that end. What else do I need to start programming (include files, libraries, etc)? Can I get them in the public domain, and if so, where? If not, where can I get them? Am I overlooking anything? THANX. Marshall

The Amiga include files are definitely NOT freely redistributable. They are part of the Amiga operating system source code and therefore may be distributed ONLY commercially, with proper copyrights and labeling, and only under license from Commodore-Amiga. We make the license VERY cheap to encourage commercial distribution of the include files. Even people with PD compilers can get an include file license - however they must label the include file disks properly and sell them directly to customers. -- ========================================================================== Carolyn Scheppner -- Tech.

So do AWTJ readers have any right to distribute the disk with 1.3 include ? thanx in advance for your answer Carolyn. // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ FROM: OLIVIER BERGER UNIVERSITE DE BORDEAUX I Administrator of the Bordeaux LICENCE D'INFORMATIQUE User Group of Scientific Students berger@geocub.greco-prog.fr // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/
