Everyone write this down: Send mail to: CATS-Admin 1200 Wilson Drive West Chester, PA 19380 And ask for information on the developer support program. I believe that you can also call (215) 431-9180 and they will send you the info. There are two developer levels, both require that you be working on a product that you believe will make it to market. Developer status includes a subscription to AmigaMail (our technical newsletter), access to beta software, access to developers conferences, and access to closed conferences on BIX. Commercial status also includes phone support. Certified Developer, $75/year, no phone support, no other requirements. $25 signup cost. Commercial Developer, $450/year, phone support, requires that you have an existing product on the market. $50 signup cost. CATS also offers materials such as DevCon notes, 1.3 Developer Update, and AmigaMail. Prices and ordering information are available at the above address. Most of the CATS developer support materials are available to non-developers, so you can get the technical information even if you do not want to become a developer. -- -- Ken Farinsky - CATS - (215) 431-9421 - Commodore Business Machines uucp: ken@cbmvax.commodore.com or ...{uunet,rutgers}!cbmvax!ken bix: kfarinsky

Any others using DICE? Any words of >wisdom on getting the most out of it? W H A T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You *ordered* DICE from DevWare? Just how much did they charge? If DevWare is charging anything beyond the cost of disks for it they are doing so illegally, I never gave them permission to sell DICE. If they are selling the registered version instead of the freely distributable version then they are in *major* trouble, as in a lawsuite. >-A former COBOL programmer trying to learn himself some C... >============================///==================================== >moynihan_r@apollo.hp.com /// "Winners are losers who got up and >Plink: Moynihan \\\/// gave it just one more try." >Hewlett-Packard/Apollo \XX/ -Dennis DeYoung -- Matthew Dillon dillon@Overload.Berkeley.CA.US 891 Regal Rd. uunet.uu.net!overload!dillon Berkeley, Ca. 94708 USA

You *ordered* DICE from DevWare? Just how > much did they charge? <other stuff deleted for brevity...> Just in case you didn't get my e-mail, they charge $3.95 to $5.95 for all the disks they sell, price varies depending on the quantity of disks you buy. 1-9 disks is $5.95, 10-24 is $4.95, 25+ is $3.95. I don't think it was the registered version, as the version I got doesn't support floating point, and as I understand it, the registered version does. If it matters, they sell all sorts of freeware and shareware. They do explicitly indicate that some of their software is considered shareware (DICE included), and they encourage users to support the authors by sending the authors their requested registration fees. DevWare has full page ads monthly in Amiga World (cringe, cringe). In the ad, they acknowledge your authorship. To be honest, that was the reason I ordered it. I'd heard you wrote good software. > Matthew Dillon dillon@Overload.Berkeley.CA.US > 891 Regal Rd. uunet.uu.net!overload!dillon > Berkeley, Ca. 94708 > USA ============================///==================================== moynihan_r@apollo.hp.com /// "Winners are losers who got up and Plink: Moynihan \\\/// gave it just one more try."
