- If you are currently using the FREEWARE version of DICE, you may want
- to register. Registration now costs $US 50 (FIFTY DOLLARS) (it used to
- cost 40) I've upped it due to unexpected overhead in doing the
- distribution, but it is still the deal of a lifetime. :-)
-
- ^
- happy face
- The $US 50 covers:
- (1) The DICE C compiler system, fully self contained system that
- includes the compiler, editor, utilities, commodore 1.3
- includes and amiga.lib (2.0 includes and amiga.lib when I get
- the license, 2.0 includes and amiga.lib for those that did
- not get them will be available through an update)
-
- The distribution also contains numerous example code and
- prolific ON-DISK documentation, include documentation on the
- standard C library (C.LIB). The Amiga autodocs are NOT
- included as I have no license to do so.
-
- (2) Initial mailing of the registered version of DICE, containing
- 3 disks.
-
- (3) One free update (probably another mailing of 3 disks)
-
- (4) Additional future registered updates on request will cost $10.
-
- (5) If I go commercial you get a break on the price, at least
- $commercial - 50 (if, when this occurs, you take the upgrade
- and have yet to get the free update, it no longer is available
- as updates would then be covered via commercial channels)
-
- Additional features not available in the freeware version:
-
- (1) The __chip and __geta4 keywords. Other keywords that exist
- in both the registered and unregistered version are:
-
- __near, __far, __aligned, __autoinit, __autoexit, and a
- few more.
-
- (2) floating point (single and double precision. No quad precision
- yet).
-
- (3) manual pages for the entire C.LIB library. Each routine is
- documented and includes compilable example.
-
- (4) source to the C library (this used to be available in the
- unregistered version but is no longer)
-
- (5) access to updates via email, USMail, or BIX (I choose the
- method depending on your access and cost)
-
- (6) bitfields (limited - not completely implemented yet)
-
- (7) 68020/030/881/882 instruction support (not implemented yet but
- will be within 6 months) -- registered users only
-
- (8) registered function interface option. DICE automatically
- assigns registered arguments for prototyped functions (but
- you cannot specify which registers it will use so this isn't
- good for C-only shared-library/device implementations)
-
- Note that there is no bound manual. To register, send $50 in US funds
- in one of the following manners:
-
- (1) A check for $50 drawn on a US BANK
-
- (2) An INTERNATION MONEY ORDER, drawn in US funds with the address
- of a US bank on the front.
-
- (3) Cash - US dollars (but this is not the best thing to send
- through the mail!)
-
- (4) Postal money order drawn in US funds. However, foreign postal
- money orders must have a US bank address on the front and/or
- specify (usually on the back) that they are redeemable in the
- US.
-
- DO NOT SEND CHECKS DRAWN ON (PERSONAL) FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNTS. I.E.
- any check that does not have a US bank address on its front is a
- pain for me to desposit.
-
- You do not need to send any extra money for return postage, that is
- part of the registration free.
