-
- ISL is now shareware. The suggested registration fee is $25. If you
- think this is too much or too little, fine, send some other amount.
-
- There are couple of reasons for this change.
-
- 1: It has become an ongoing project. I really did not expect to still
- be maintaining and enhancing it! This is the 6th public release, and
- I'll almost certainly make it work with Imagine 3.0 if and when said
- product finally ships. There have also been numerous beta releases.
-
- 2: Since starting ISL, I have also started my own company, Grizzly Bear
- Labs. The time I spend on ISL directly impacts other GBL development. If
- I am to continue to maintain and enhance it, I need some justification for
- doing so. Registration fees for ISL will be reported to the IRS and the
- California Franchise Tax Board as GBL income.
-
- 3: I feel that there is much more which can be done with ISL, but am
- unwilling to spend much more time on it, unless a few registrations appear
- in my mailbox. Some possible future enhancements:
-
- A second, reduced size grammar (to help with very large stages)
-
- Macro expansion
-
- Procedural statements and control flow statements
-
- More outboard programs (ala islobjs)
-
- More islobjs options (sort, unique)
-
- A Graphical User Interface
-
- The way to encourage this sort of thing is to contribute. Please send
- your shareware fees, bug reports, and enhancement suggestions to:

-
- Checks should be made out to me, as I don't have a checking account for
- Grizzly Bear Labs as of yet.
