1. Distribution Status
======================
THIS PROGRAM IS COPYRIGHT (C) 1992/93 FALCON ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS.
The version of FESBasic included with this file is the UNREGISTERED version.
This version may be distributed freely provided the following conditions
are satisfied:-
* ALL FILES ARE INCLUDED IN THE DISTRIBUTION. THIS INCLUDES THE
EDITOR,THE INTERPRETER,THE HELP FILE,ALL DEMONSTRATION FILES AND
THIS DOCUMENT.
* NO FILES MAY BE MODIFIED IN ANY WAY. THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS
IS THE COMPLETE PACKAGE MAY BE "CRUNCHED" USING A READILY OBTAINABLE
ARCHIVER TO EASE DISTRIBUTION.
* NO FEE OTHER THAN A REASONABLE COPYING FEE IS CHARGED.
* THE PACKAGE MAY NOT BE INCLUDED ON A MAGAZINE COVERDISK WITHOUT
MY PERMISSION.
* NO ATTEMPT IS MADE TO DISASSEMBLE / DECOMPILE / REVERSE-ENGINEER THIS
PRODUCT WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR.
There is one exception to this:
* IF YOU ARE DISTRIBUTING A PROGRAM OF YOUR OWN CREATION WRITTEN USING
FESBASIC THEN YOU MAY INCLUDE THE FILE 'BASIC' WITH IT. IF YOU
INCLUDE THE EDITOR OR ANY OTHER FILE INCLUDED WITH FESBASIC THEN YOU
MUST INCLUDE *ALL* OF THE DISTRIBUTION.
2.Registration Policy
=====================
The version of FESBasic included with this document (V1.0) is the UNREGISTERED
freely distributable version. If you find this program useful then you may
wish to obtain a copy of a later version of the program.
Later versions of the program are NOT freely distributable. They are only
obtainable from me. However If you write a program using a later version
you are permitted to distribute the interpreter file "basic" with your
program(s).
To obtain the latest version of this program write to me at the address given
at the end of this file. Please include £10 Sterling and a letter stating
that you want the latest version of FESBasic. Make Cheques / Postal Orders
payable to S.D.Forey. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE YOUR ADDRESS,
and telephone number and/or email address if possible.
I have tried to make the package as inexpensive as possible, whilst still
giving me a reasonable incentive to continue working on the program. Software
like this takes a lot of time and effort to write.
I can only accept cheques in POUNDS STERLING, drawn on a British Bank.
If you cannot obtain Sterling then I am prepared to accept the equivalent
to £15 in French Francs / German DM / Danish Kr. (Saves me needing to change
money when I go on holiday!). Obviously I cannot reccomend sending Cash
through the post however since £10/£15 is not a massive sum the risks are
probably not too great...
Registered Users can obtain updates free by sending me back their original
disks.
3. FUTURE PLANS
===============
By the time you read this I should have completed version 1.1. This should
include:-
* Floating point Maths: including '!' variables and arrays.
All the normal f/p functions.
Support in FORMAT$()
* Static Variables in procedures/functions.
* Passing Arrays as parameters to Procedures and Functions.
* Calling O/S functions.
By the summer of 1993 I hope to have version 1.2 completed. This should have:-
* Better Intuition Support: Windows, Multiple Screens, Menus
* Sprite and BOB commands.
* The ability to use Fonts and Styles of text in programs.
Whether I continue to work on the language after 1.2 depends very much on
how big a response I get. However I would like to add:-
* Trace Function; possibly a debugger?
* Event Driven Code (commands like ON ERROR, ON MOUSE etc)
* A Compiler???
* Any more suggestions???
