** Join the C Acorn User Group **
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why should I?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CAUG supports C and C++ users on RISC OS machines. We provide a forum for
sharing experience, ideas and opinions. Our membership ranges from beginners
to experts, individuals to companies and includes Acorn, Beebug, Clares Micro
Supplies and Icon Technology Ltd, all of whom take an active part in the group.
Our close association with major Acorn companies allowed us to published
detailed news of Acorn C/C++ and Easy C++ months before the mainstream
magazines. We can also provide members with the upgrade to Acorn C/C++,
Acorn's application notes for extending the Toolbox and access to the
RISC_OSLib source code, all free-of-charge.
What will I get for my money?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CAUG is a special interest group of the Association of C and C++ Users (ACCU),
so if you join you'll be a member of both. Both publish a bimonthly journal and
CAUG produces an occasional disc. If you have an interest in C++ you can also
join the C++ special interest group and receive Overload, their bimonthly
journal.

DVIview, the TeX previewer; and Clares Micro Supplies' ProArtisan 24.
Our discs contain utilities, example code and technical documents and we have
a software library which gives all members access to large or
specialised software.
What's the ACCU?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ACCU supports C and C++ users across all platforms. The membership is
spread across the world and includes companies such as Microsoft, Borland and
Clarion. As well as publishing C Vu, the ACCU organises local meetings, runs
C/C++ related tutorials and is involved in the standardisation of the C and C++
languages. C Vu, the ACCU's journal, contains book reviews, opinions,
programming tutorials and challenges and discussions of portability, code
quality and standards.
Will my Bank manager have something to say on the matter?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No. Both CAUG and the ACCU are non-profit making. All of the organisers donate
their time; you only pay for the production of the journals and discs, and
administration costs. As examples, the cost of joining both CAUG and the ACCU
for the 96/97 membership year is 20 pounds for individuals and 12.50 pounds for
full-time UK students. There are also special arrangements for German members
to pay in DM. Full details of subscription fees are given on our membership
form.
